For Cameron Norrie, his run to the semi-finals of Wimbledon was significant as the British ace came so close to winning his maiden Grand Slam title which is now his next aim.
The 26-year-old made a blistering start to his semi-final with Novak Djokovic, winning the first set. However, he eventually fell to the Serbian who will now play Nick Kyrgios in the final. But having finally made it past a third round at a major tournament, it has been an unforgettable week for the Brit.
He said:
“Great experience. I can take a lot of confidence from it. To reach the semis, reach the Friday of the second week, is pretty sick. But I think for me, I want to go [for] more and I want to do more of that and go one further and try to win a Slam.“A lot of firsts for me this week, a lot of good experiences. Hopefully I can take them in my stride.”
Norrie further added:
“I think looking, comparing to Novak, I think it was just the level of execution from him was better than me. His level of focus, the way he handled his service games was better than me. That was the difference. I think I played okay. I just made a lot of returns. I hit the spots well on my serve. Like I said, it was the biggest match of my career. I think it was a six out of 10 set. I think I was running a lot, put a lot of balls in the court.”
