Cameron Norrie's shoes go missing in different kind of race against time ahead of 2024 United Cup

Britain’s tennis star Cameron Norrie has asked a private airline to find his bag so that he can take part in the United Cup. The 2024 season will begin with the competition to be played in Perth from December 29.

The 28-year-old, in a post on his post on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — asked the airline to find his bag where he has shoes as well ahead of the competition. “Would be nice to have my tennis shoes for Xmas @Qantas please find my bag,” he wrote.

Norrie will be hoping that he will finally have his bag and shoes with him as he will look to have a much better season than the one he had in 2023.

The world number 18 played in the main round of all four Grand Slams but could not manage to qualify for the fourth round or beyond in any of the mega-events.

The highlight of the year for the Johannesburg-born came in February when he clinched the ATP 500 title in Brazil’s city of Rio de Janeiro where he got the better of the current world number two Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in the final with a score of 5-7, 6-4, 7-5.
