"He would stay humble even if he were No. 1" says coach Lugones on Norrie

Fernando Lugones knows Cameron Norrie very well and since becoming his coach the dup have brought the Brit on the verge of breaking into the top 10.

His biggest career success came on the courts of Indian Wells not even half a year ago when the Brit won his maiden ATP 1000 trophy. Speaking to ATP, Lugones spoke about Norrie and his journey. Norrie worked really hard for what he achieved and Lugones agrees:

“All the credit goes to Cam, who didn’t panic after we had such a hard time in Australia. From there we had time to regroup, and we trained very hard for 20 days, with a fitness coach and everything. In Rotterdam he picked up some confidence by winning some good matches. There he started to play well again, and in Delray Beach and Acapulco he showed that.”

Norrie himself has dreams of breaking inside the top 10:

"It would be really amazing to be in the Top 10. It’s one of my goals this year. But for now, I just want to take it match by match and keep concentrating on my game.”

On that, Lugones said:

“Even though the Top 10 is one of his goals, I also think he is aiming higher and he’s working very hard to achieve it. Even so, I don’t think he’s under pressure. When Cam was younger, he did feel a lot of pressure to get into the Top 100, but now he’s more mature and he’s more focused.”
