Wimbledon week two: Britain’s hopes ride on Cameron ‘Nozza’ Norrie

Britain’s hopes for week two of Wimbledon ride on Cameron Norrie as the only team GB singles player left in the tournament.

Fans were buoyed by the 26-year-old’s exhilarating win on Sunday against his best friend on the tour, American Tommy Paul, after a week of gradual knockouts for British stars including Emma Raducanu and Sir Andy Murray.

The new home favourite, who revealed his nickname is “Nozza”, will next appear on the hallowed grass courts on Tuesday against Belgium’s number one, David Goffin.

Great Britain’s Alicia Barnett, who has opened up to the PA news agency about how her periods affect her game and the stress of wearing Wimbledon whites, will also be returning on Tuesday in the mixed doubles, as will Heather Watson.

This year marks Barnett’s debut grand slam, and alongside British partner Jonny O’Mara, the Gloucestershire-born player took down veteran player Venus Williams and Britain’s Jamie Murray on middle Sunday.

First on Centre Court in week two will be fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios against America’s Brandon Nakashima.

This comes after the Canberra-born star beat equally-bullish Stefanos Tsitsipas in a drama-filled game which saw the players pick up three code violations between them.

Kyrgios was cautioned for swearing, while his Greek opponent breached the rules twice for smashing the ball away into the crowd.

Athens-born Tsitsipas slammed Kyrgios as “a bully” with “a very evil side” after the match, and spectators were divided over whether it was “absolutely incredible” entertainment or an “embarrassing” display of temper tantrums.

Two-time grand slam winner, Romanian Simona Halep, will take on Spaniard Paula Badosa, who has never won a grand slam but is now more highly ranked at world number four.
