"Worth coming here to have a shower": Norrie jokes about relishing being Wimbledon member after 2022 run
ATP
Britain’s Cameron Norrie has revealed that he loves coming
to The All England Club after getting the membership.
The 27-year-old got the membership after his impressive run
of form last year in Wimbledon where he ended up playing in the semifinal of the
competition, losing to eventual winner Novak Djokovic with a score of 2-6, 6-3,
6-2, 6-4.
Talking about the benefits of getting The All England Club
affiliation, Norrie stated that he feels ‘special’ coming to the place,
especially on off days.
“The food is so good here, even outside of the tournament.
Me and my fitness trainer really like the gym. Obviously to practise here one
day was great, too,” he said as quoted by UBITennis.
“I just got my membership, so it was cool to use that. It’s
such a nice club. It’s almost worth coming here just to have a shower and just
to enjoy, the showers they have are so good.
“It feels so special. I think even more so when the
tournament is not even on. Not many people are around. The facilities are
obviously so good. You get treated like someone really special.”
While talking about his own objectives in the upcoming
mega-event, the Johannesburg-born remains optimistic about repeating the last year’s
performances.
“There’s no reason why I can’t do it again,” he said. “I’m
playing well and hitting the ball really well. Having that run last year gave
me a lot of confidence going into this year,” he said. But it all starts again.
You have to take it match by match. There is still a long way to go. There are
so many good players on this surface. Yeah, the draw’s stacked. I’m going to
have to keep improving match by match.”
Norrie will be playing his Wimbledon 2023 opener
against Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac on Tuesday.

- 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.

- 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.mandoist05-11-2026
