"I’m going to come out and take it to him" - Norrie ready to upset Djokovic

| by Balasz Virag

Cameron Norrie is enjoying his best Grand Slam run of his career at the 2022 Wimbledon as he reached his maiden semifinals.

Previously, Cameron Norrie never got past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament. At the 2022 Wimbledon, he got much further than that and will play in the semifinal against the first-seeded, Novak Djokovic. The home-crowd favourite is the only British player left in the draw and he hopes the crowd will help him to defeat the Serbian opponent.

"Honestly, I’m speechless. I'm so happy to get through with such a great team and such great family and friends here."It wasn't going my way from the beginning and I wasn’t feeling good and feeling the ball. That was all credit to David - he was moving me, playing really good and I couldn’t find my game."

"But thanks to you guys, I managed to stay as patient as I could, and it was all just adrenaline. I just used my legs in the end and tried to put the ball in the court. It was great to get over the line for sure."

"I think just winning a match like this - I’m in shock. I don’t know what to say now, obviously, but I'm getting flashbacks of all the hard work, all the pre-seasons and all the sacrifices I’ve had to make. It definitely pays off and it feels pretty good."

"It's great to get this but it only gets tougher and I’m going to come out and enjoy that and take it to him [Djokovic] and hopefully you guys can get behind me again. I'm sure you will by the sounds of that. I'm looking forward to it - I can’t enjoy it too much now, and yeah, I’m going to get ready for Novak in a couple of days."
