Robson and Henman critical of Norrie being called 's*** Andy Murray': "They have clearly never watched tennis before"
ATP
Eurosport analysts Laura Robson and Tim Henman voiced their displeasure about Norrie being called a cheap version of Andy Murray.
Norrie has been the British number one in recent times with Murray struggling to get to the top following his injury. He's been a fairly decent representation of British tennis reaching the Wimbledon semi-final among other things last year. Despite that, he's not on the level of prime Murray but that speaks mostly to how great the former number one has been,
Some fans heckled Norrie with some bad words and were kicked out during his match with Lestienne and Robson and Henman took issue with the chants. Robson said:
"They have clearly never watched tennis before because the two couldn't play any differently,” Robson told Eurosport about the incident. Cam's a real grinder - he dictates with his forehand. He's got that nudge backhand and he's an incredible mover. Whereas Andy's got that big serve to work with. He's much taller.

In my mind I wouldn't even put them in the same category of a tennis player so maybe these guys need to do their homework before the next round. Hopefully they've learnt something. They've made the news - that's probably all that they wanted. I don't think Cam was bothered by it at all.”
Henman added:
“Some fans were shouting some pretty unpleasant fans things at Cam and they ended up getting ejected from the stadium and rightly so. For me, Cam is an absolute superstar. He's progressed, he's improved his game so much, moving into the top 50, top 30, top 20 has already been in the top 10, winning the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells.

- 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
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
