Norrie set for Djokovic in Wimbledon semis | Kyrgios receives walkover to final

British No 1 Cameron Norrie is ready to 'take it to' Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-final, while Nick Kyrgios received a walkover into the final after Rafael Nadal's withdrawal due to injury.

Norrie joins Andy Murray, Tim Henman and Roger Taylor as the only British men to reach the semi-finals in the singles at the All England Club in the Open Era.

Norrie, the current British No 1, now faces what he believes is the ultimate test at Wimbledon - a match against the world No 1, who is bidding to win a fourth successive title.

The other semi-final between Kyrgios and Nadal was due to take place second on Centre Court on Friday. However, Nadal announced on Thursday evening that he had been forced to withdraw from the tournament.

The Spaniard battled heroically through a four-hour and 21-minute quarter-final against Taylor Fritz, but after a scan and practice on Thursday he made the tough decision not to play.

The British No 1 has broken new ground this year at Wimbledon, after making it past the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time.

It's safe to say that Norrie, who has won a number of titles on the ATP Tour, must have been perturbed by his record at majors and is now relishing an extended run at a Slam.

At his home Slam, Norrie is drawing strength from the settled team he has around him and is doing things his way, like cycling to and from the All England Club to his home.

Norrie's first reaction at facing Djokovic in the semi-final was a positive one and there's no doubt the Centre Court crowd will get behind him, just like the No 1 Court crowd did on Tuesday.

The British No 1 also knows the record his Serbian opponent holds on Centre Court - Djokovic hasn't lost on the main show court since Andy Murray
