Cameron Norrie is not thrilled with Djokovic qualifying for the ATP Finals due to the grand slam qualification rule.

Cameron Norrie lost to Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-final and while neither won points for the event, Djokovic was able to win the event which gave him a huge chance to find himself in Turin. He only needed to finish in the top 20 of the race due to winning a grand slam as opposed to finishing in the top 8 of the Race like non-grand slam champions have to:

"(Novak Djokovic) obviously qualified from Wimbledon so that seems a bit strange. I don't know if that was the rule before or not, but its seems unfair. I guess for Nick Kyrgios as well. He lost in the final and he gets nothing. I knew that I hadn't had the points all along, but I was still in with pretty decent chance I thought."

Norrie is questioning the whole ordeal because he was the only player to benefit from his Wimbledon performance this year due to the whole points situation:

"First and foremost, Novak deserves to be in Turin. But it feels arbitrary that he is the only player to benefit from his performances at Wimbledon."
