Following his win over Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie explained what sort of inspiration he takes from Novak Djokovic.

The World No. 10 discussed how he has grown more professional and meticulous as his career has advanced in an interview with Tennis Channel following his come-from-behind victory over Andy Murray in the second round of the 2022 Cincinnati Open.

"I've seen him bringing his own food to events in little Tupperware things. That is even more meticulous than bringing your scale with you," said Norrie about Djokovic and added "I would like to think that he is doing the same and the same method to take care of little details like that."

The match itself was a lucky one for Norrie as he was able to snatch it away after Murray experienced cramps. It's something he can relate to, especially in the tricky conditions in Cincinnati:

"I am still struggling with the conditions a litte bit and trying to find rhythm. I just got through with my attitude and stayed positive. I managed to find myself at one set all, I don't know how and the last set was a battle, he had some chances and I played a couple of good points."

"That's how it rolls sometimes in tennis. It's a massive win for me beating Andy for the first time. It's not the way I wanted to beat him with him cramping, but it's nice to get through", concluded Norrie.
