Cameron Norrie looking forward to home comforts as Wimbledon approaches

Cameron Norrie heads to Wimbledon as British number one for the first time and is seeking to finally reach the second week of a grand slam.

Being the nation’s top-ranked male player at SW19 weighed heavy on many shoulders in the past until Andy Murray ended the 77-year wait for a champion in 2013.

But laid-back Norrie, who was born in South Africa to Welsh mother Helen and Scottish father David before being brought up in Auckland, does not get fazed by the expectations of the home crowd.

The 26-year-old, who broke into the world’s top 10 earlier this year, is confident he can break the glass ceiling and get past the third round at a major tournament.

“I think it’s just putting myself in that situation time and time again,” he said.

“Being better than the other guy in the bigger moments. That’s what tennis comes down to.

“So I’m looking forward to it. I really like the grass and the vibe around the grass, and being at home.”

Number four with these dogs! First on the clay! Very special ⚡️
