Cameron Norrie bats back questions over succeeding Andy Murray and winning Wimbledon after reaching quarters

We desperately needed to hear the “Norrie, Norrie, Norrie” chant - if only to banish the memory of Sir Cliff Richard’s Wimbledon warbling.

SW19’s first-ever Sunday special was commemorated, if that’s the word, by the ageless cloud-chaser’s “Summer Holiday”. Cameron Norrie was hoping to put off the opportunity for vacation by continuing to have pressing tennis business - and now he’s the only Brit standing and looking forward to his first-ever Grand Slam quarter-final.

This was another highly impressive straight-sets victory for him, watched by his Glasgow-born father David and the rest of the family, and next up for Norrie today will be Belgium’s David Goffin.

“Norrie, Norrie, Norrie … Oi, oi, oi!” was trotted only sporadically. It’s been adapted from the “Oggie, Oggie, Oggie” call-and-response of Welsh rugby fans, which was shouted by Catherine Zeta Jones at the Baftas and also reworked as “Maggie, Maggie, Maggie … Out, out, out!” during dischuffment with Thatcher. Maybe there was an All England directive to keep things orderly out of respect for the Sabbath. In truth, although America’s Tommy Paul was a lively competitor, the British No1 didn’t really require the fillip.
