Norrie relishing ‘underdog’ opportunity against Draper
An all-British tie between the Norrie and Davis Cup teammate Draper awaits on Thursday
Cameron Norrie banished any doubts cast over him in the run-in to Wimbledon and is now relishing his ‘underdog’ opportunity against British No. 1 Jack Draper in the second round.
It was a comprehensive victory in straight sets for the British No. 2 in his All England Club opener, coming up against world No. 67 Facundo Diaz Acosta and brushing him aside in a 7-5 7-5 6-3 win.
Following up from Katie Boulter’s rousing win on No. 3 Court, Norrie meant business after first-round defeats at both the LTA’s Rothesay International Eastbourne and the cinch Championships at Queen’s Club.
A British tie between the Norrie and Davis Cup teammate Draper awaits on Thursday and Norrie knows he will have to be at his best if he is to put any dent in the newly-installed British No. 1’s reign.
He said: “It’s a surprise kind of being the underdog for the first time in a while. I’m looking forward to the challenge. I’m going to have to play my best level to have a chance with Jack. He’s playing so well at the moment.
“He’s ranked ahead of me, his results have been better than mine, especially over the grass court season.
