Putney’s Cameron Norrie denied suggestions a packed schedule ahead of the Australian Open contributed to his third round exit.

The British number one was beaten by Jiri Lehecka, having led the Czech by two-sets-to-one.

Norrie says he had the "best" start to a year by reaching the final of the Auckland Open - but admits he may have "peaked a little bit too early" at the mixed-team United Cup.
