Hello and welcome to Wimbledon coverage on the biggest day of Cameron Norrie’s career so far.
The British No.1 is one win away from reaching the final of his home Grand Slam. The man standing in his way – defending champion Novak Djokovic. Norry and Djokovic have only played once before, at the ATP Finals last November, where the Serb lost just three games.
“Obviously it’s going to be tough against Novak, but I’m looking forward to the challenge,” Norrie said. “I think I’ll take it from him. I think the last time I played him in Turin at another big tournament he played really well and I think I learned a lot from that. I think I’m going to approach it a little bit differently tactically.”
Djokovic is currently on an incredible streak on center court with 37 consecutive victories, the longest in the history of the tournament. He hasn’t lost there since Andy Murray beat him in the 2013 final – his other two defeats since then have come on Court 1. Djokovic’s streak is also longer than Rafael Nadal’s all-time winning streak against Philippe Chatrier at the Open France.
“We played indoors … only one match we had,” Djokovic said. “Obviously, different conditions, different tournament(s) environment than one would play here at Wimbledon on center court, Slam semi-finals in his country. I know what to expect… in terms of audience support.
“Again, there’s not much for him to lose. Any win from here is a big deal for him. I know that. But I’ve coached a few times. I know his game well. He’s been around. Of course I’m going to do my homework and get ready. “
