Cameron Norrie made it through to the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time after beating American Tommy Paul in straight sets, 6-4 7-5 6-4.
British No. 1 Norrie was in sparkling form throughout and ended up leaving his opponent chasing dust as he moved him around the court at will with his big lefty forehand especially lethal. It felt like a coming-of-age performance from Norrie in front of a packed No. 1 Court, not only reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals but doing so for the first time at any Grand Slam.
He said:
"It’s shocking for me, to make the quarter-finals for the first time. To play a match like that - a huge match for both of us - was really good. I really enjoyed it. It's pretty crazy, [I've got] a lot of feelings. I’m the last Brit left; why not get behind me even more? From the first round, everyone’s been behind me and it’s shown, especially in the tougher moments."
He further added:
"Serving for the match there were lots of scenarios going on in my head but I was able to stay calm enough to close it off. It was great, and [the atmosphere] helped me through it. If you watched me in 2017 at Wimbledon, I wasn’t very patient, I wanted it all to happen very quickly. I got chopped up in about an hour and ten minutes in the first round to [Jo-Wilfried] Tsonga."

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
