Steve Johnson at Wimbledon on Friday. The world number 12, who joined compatriot Heather Watson in the last 16, next faces another American in Tommy Paul. Norrie becomes the first British man in five years to reach the last 16 at Wimbledon, the previous being twice champion Andy Murray. It was a much easier outing than his previous match when he was taken to five sets by Spaniard Jaume Munar. "It feels really good, especially here at Wimbledon, at home. First time in the second week of a Grand Slam and I couldn't be happier especially with all my friends and family watching me," Norrie said on court. "It's good timing that they're here! I enjoyed that match today and it was a bit less stressful than the last round for my squad."
