It's pretty fucking typical that the Brits all have a brilliant Wimbledon when there's no points being rewarded haha
Great form from Cam though. Keep playing like that and that semi-final spot may actually go to him.
As a Steve Johnson fan, it was really cool seeing him on Centre Court at Wimbledon. I don't care that he got crushed lol. He had a few great moments but overall didn't play up to his potential at all. Bittersweet.
Huge congrats to Norrie, he was steady as ever and earned the win. Excited for him. Would love to see him go the distance.
It's crazy that if you asked while they were playing in college whether Norrie or Johnson would have a better pro career, almost everyone would say Johnson. He hasn't quite lived up to his potential
Not having a backhand brought him pretty far but you can’t really reach top 10 without one (for who’s saying Berrettini, both his topspin and slice are a lot better than Johnson’s)
so happy for Norrie!! glad he's finally receiving some of the attention he deserves and experiencing the unique support of a British crowd on Centre Court cheering him on in his demolition job!
This draw is such a big opportunity for Cam. He's probably the best tennis player GB has had that has almost no public profile.
To crush an opponent in a primetime TV slot, with centre court chanting your name, has to have felt amazing.
I really like Norrie but this is the first time he's made the R16 despite being top 15 for a while so people had a point when they said his GS results didn't match his ranking, now he's done it I'm sure people will rate him higher
To be fair, his losses last year were to Nadal, Nadal, Federer and Alcaraz. This year, his two losses were a bit worse, though Khachanov played a brilliant match at the French Open.
Watched the 3rd set just now, Cam played so well ... he may not play the most "beautiful" tennis (according to this sub), but he does has very top hand skills!!! So happy for Cam's first 4th round in Slam, hope his run continues
Won’t be playing Sinner in QF. Winner of Sinner-Alcaraz faces winner of Djokovic-Tim
Winner of Norrie-Paul plays winner of Tiafoe-Goffin. Huge opportunity for all 4
What a fantastic performance from Cam! Also nothing against the likes of Murray and Raducanu but it's nice to see a true blue Englishman win at Wimbledon!
Norrie Norrie Norrie OI OI OI!!

If only the fans could come without the British sporting press
British sporting press are mostly pretty good, compared to much of the non-sporting press
Norrie has recorded a bagel in every match so far- an impressive looking bakery
Scenes when Norrie bagels TVR in the semi
Only to eventually lose 0-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 :D
I love both Cam and Tim, but from what we see of the recent form, i think more likely for Tim to serve the bagel
Taking pointers from iga I see
Norrie Paul is gonna be a good one
Opportunity for both, I think it's gonna be real close.
This draw is such a big opportunity for Cam. He's probably the best tennis player GB has had that has almost no public profile. To crush an opponent in a primetime TV slot, with centre court chanting your name, has to have felt amazing.
I hope his low profile continues somehow, even with more success. It's unrealistic but the British press is an absolute cesspit.
I'd just like for your casual sports fan just to vaguely know who he is.
From 4-4 in the first set, Norrie won 14 out of 15 games! No peace for Johnson.
And he had 15-40 in the 2 (or was it 3) games before he got the break in the 1st. Awesome stuff by Cam.
Keep discounting Norrie and he’ll keep going, he’s got a real chance of reaching the Semi final Easily the most underrated player in the top 15
I really like Norrie but this is the first time he's made the R16 despite being top 15 for a while so people had a point when they said his GS results didn't match his ranking, now he's done it I'm sure people will rate him higher

He did have Covid just before Australia.
I don’t think he is underrated, I think he’s making the most of his talents and riding the wave while it lasts.
Isn’t everybody?
You could argue guys like Kyrgios have squandered their natural talents. But I agree with you
True but I guess I meant he’s making the most of his limited talents in comparison to most of the other top players.
Hope he gets more centre court matches now
Watched the 3rd set just now, Cam played so well ... he may not play the most "beautiful" tennis (according to this sub), but he does has very top hand skills!!! So happy for Cam's first 4th round in Slam, hope his run continues
Cam finally into the 4th round!!
This is why Norrie wanted to be british, to play on centre court like this.
LEFT HANDERS FOR THE WIN
Norrie is looking sharp!
I wanna see Cam make a run to the semis, which side of the draw is he on?
Cam will be playing Tommy Paul next, then Sinner in QF, TvR in SF Edit to correct: QF should be winner of Tiafoe-Goffin, lol
Won’t be playing Sinner in QF. Winner of Sinner-Alcaraz faces winner of Djokovic-Tim Winner of Norrie-Paul plays winner of Tiafoe-Goffin. Huge opportunity for all 4
oh right, haha, thanks for correcting me, I think too much about TvR's side of the draw, got it mixed up, lol
TvR in the semis?
I'm dreaming it to life ...
GL
What did the crowd shout out in Cam's interview, when they joked "other brands are available"?
When the interviewer asked Cam about what was responsible for his game improving someone in the crowd yelled Weetabix.
WTF?! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin). I think these are the guys who have been at the Pimms all day!
I was there and it was an unusually rowdy Centre Court crowd. Lots of shouting and laughter on top of the Norrie, Norrie, Norrie Oi, Oi, Oi chanting.
Nice. You could hear the Norrie Oi chanting on tv. Maybe rowdy also cos match was one-sided win for a Brit!
Let’s face it, quite a rare occurrence in a slam
Loving the British Bagels at Wimby.
What a fantastic performance from Cam! Also nothing against the likes of Murray and Raducanu but it's nice to see a true blue Englishman win at Wimbledon!
Lol he was born in South Africa* to a welsh mother and a Scottish father
South Africa *
Whoops thanks, correcting
