Cameron Norrie

Post by IanMcL » Sun Jun 20, 2021 3:27 pm

Playing a blinder at Queens. 1-1 and 3-3 as I type.

I thought...Cameron is a Scots name...Norrie possibly. Not heard of him in that context.

Turns out he is one for all of us!

Norrie was born in 1995 in Johannesburg, South Africa to a Scottish father and a Welsh mother who were both microbiologists.[3] After a burglary incident in 1998, when Norrie was three he and his family moved to Auckland, New Zealand, where his parents still live.[4] In 2011, at age 16 he moved to London where he lived for three years before attending Texas Christian University in Fort Worth from 2014 to 2017. In June 2017 he ended his studies at TCU to turn professional during the grass court season of the 2017 ATP Tour.[5][6]

Yes I've been following his progress this week, he's always had the ability, it's just putting it together over a big tournament, and whatever happens today he's finally doing that, and this run should set him up perfectly for Wimbledon.

I believe he classes himself as Scottish, and it's certainly been a good weekend for Scottish sport.

Berrettini wins in 3, but Norrie pushed him all the way.

Gordon Reid did clinch yet another title though in the wheelchair final.

Norrie still has to play in the doubles semi-final with possibly the final to follow, how on earth do these tennis pros manage playing all these different formats in a day.

Norrie has just claimed his 4th ATP title by winning the Lyon Open, well done to him, and it's pleasing to see someone who looks like following in Andy Murray's broad footsteps.
