Cameron Norrie admits he is shocked to be in the last eight at Wimbledon and has called for the fans in London to get behind him even more as he is the last Brit standing.

The 26-year-old comfortably saw off American Tommy Paul 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 on Sunday afternoon in his first ever Grand Slam fourth round match.

It’s pretty crazy – a lot of feelings at the moment but I enjoyed it.

It was great you guys helped me through it.’

Norrie had only been to the third round once in four previous trips to Wimbledon and he believes he is a
