Cameron Norrie achieved the biggest triumph of his career at the 2021 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells and upon return to the UK, he revealed that his parents actually did not watch the match.
For most athletes, parents are their biggest fans as they watch them grow up and compete on the court. For Cameron Norrie, it's not different yet watching some of those matches can be very nerve-racking. That was the case with the senior Norrie's who according to Norrie did not even watch the match. Upon return to the UK Norrie revealed:
“They actually didn't watch the match. They were too nervous to be watching so I spoke to them after, they were in tears"
Asked to elaborae in depht he said:
"I was like so what did you guys do when I was playing? They said when you lost the first set we had to go out and walk the dogs, we were so nervous, we didn't know what to do, so they re-watched it knowing the result so they could relax. But they were so happy and my mum was in tears, so it was very special to speak to them after getting the title.”
The win is Norrie's biggest ever as it's only his 2nd title with the only previous won being an ATP 250 even in Los Cabos earlier in the year. The Brit admitted as much after the match saying:
“To win this title has been absolutely a big step for me, especially coming from winning Los Cabos, which was only an ATP 250. It’s been a lot of finals and a lot of them haven't gone my way, so it’s nice for this bigger one to go my way, especially after coming unstuck in the Queen's final, just before Wimbledon, than now is a tough one."

- 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!!!

- 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
