Cameron Norrie - 'I want to push towards world No. 1' - Players' Voice

British No. 1 Cameron Norrie opens up on the challenge of leading the home charge at Wimbledon this summer, whilst also taking inspiration from Daniil Medvedev as he targets his long-term goal of reaching world No. 1.

— Ad/> It feels great coming back to the UK. I've played almost every week on the Tour this year, going from tournament to tournament and staying in hotels for almost two months. So to be sleeping in my own bed feels good.

ATP London'Such a tough opponent' — Norrie knocked out by Dimitrov in Queen's first round13/06/2022 AT 16:32 I love London this time of year, especially with all these tournaments. The days are super long and I enjoy the feeling of being on the grass, being at home and having that support. I just feel that everyone in the UK has been pretty miserable with the weather the whole year and then suddenly now it's good so everyone's out and about till late, and I love that it doesn't get dark until about 10pm.

Everyone's in a good mood, the pubs are packed, everyone's enjoying the tennis and there's a lot to look forward to. I think you take the pressure of being British No. 1 — I'd take my progress over the last couple of years.

Coming back this year being British No. 1 is exactly where I want to be. Obviously, it would've been nice to be a little bit higher in the world rankings, but I've got a lot to improve on in my game and I'm really enjoying the challenge of everything and of the grass.

I really like the grass now. I feel like I had a decent season on it last year and that gave me a lot of confidence. I haven't played too much on it in my career so I'm still learning and it's all pretty new to me, but it's really exciting.
