Wimbledon: Norrie faces alien challenge as he reaches first Grand Slam semi-final

Over the last two decades, British fans have become accustomed to being taken on five-set rollercoaster rides on tennis' most famous stage by four-time Wimbledon semi-finalist Tim Henman and then twice champion Andy Murray. The South African-born Norrie joined that select group on Tuesday when he fought back to reach his first Grand Slam semi-final with a 3-6, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Goffin. "Pretty crazy to be sitting here and in the semis. Crazy atmosphere, as well. Definitely enjoyed it. The crowd definitely got me through it. Pretty fortunate to get through that one," admitted Norrie after becoming only the fourth British man in the Open Era to reach the last four at the grasscourt major. "At end of the fourth, start of the fifth, I was just locked in.... just a crazy day and crazy match to get through."
