However, when a journalist asked a left-field question about his love life at a press conference on July 6, attention momentarily turned away from his sporting achievements. 'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating,' the reporter said. 'Can I ask if you're dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?'

'Sorry?' Norrie replied, confused. 'I'm not, no. You can ask her, though. You can ask her.' What perhaps made the question even more inappropriate was the fact that Norrie has a long-term girlfriend, Louise Jacobi – a talented fashion designer and entrepreneur who's been by his side since 2019, per Hello! Magazine.
Here is everything you need to know about the tennis ace's glamorous girlfriend.
How did Cameron Norrie meet Louise Jacobi?

Norrie and Jacobi met in a New York City bar in 2019 through a mutual friend, per Hello! They enjoyed their first date when Norrie invited her to Vienna to watch him play.
'When he asked me, I thought, 'I guess this guy doesn't live a normal life, and it's not like I can meet [him] down the street and go to dinner together,'' she said. 'So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well.'
Coincidentally, Jacobi had just been laid off at the time, which allowed them to build the foundation of their relationship before Covid-19 hit.

Last October, the couple returned to the city where they had their first date. 'Vienna was the first tennis tournament I ever went to,' Jacobi shared in a sweet Instagram post. 'Who would have thought I'd still be coming here five years later? Some photos over the years with Cam in this amazing city.'

Favourites Alcaraz, Sabalenka into Wimbledon semis
Favourites Alcaraz, Sabalenka into Wimbledon semis Alcaraz downed Britain's Cameron Norrie in one hours and 39 minutes. Photo: Reuters Women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka battled from a set down to defeat Germany's Laura Siegemund. Photo: Reuters Carlos Alcaraz swept into the Wimbledon semi-finals for a third successive year as the defending champion demolished Cameron Norrie, while world number one Aryna Sabalenka survived a major scare to reach the last four. Alcaraz needed just 99 minutes to win 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 in his most commanding performance in this year's tournament. The Spanish second seed dropped four sets in a series of scrappy displays during his run to the last eight. But Alcaraz was back to his imperious best in the quarter-finals, blasting 39 winners against the overwhelmed British world number 61 to set up a last-four clash with American fifth seed Taylor Fritz. Alcaraz is on a career-best 23-match winning run since losing to Holger Rune in the Barcelona final in April -- a superb streak which has brought him titles at the French Open, the Rome Masters and Monte Carlo. The Spaniard, who vanquished Novak Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals, has won 34 of his 37 Tour-level matches on grass, while his last defeat at the All England Club came against Jannik Sinner in the fourth round in 2022. "To be able to play another semi-final here at Wimbledon is super special," Alcaraz said. "It's going to be great. I'm really happy with the way I played against a really difficult player." Wimbledon's controversial line technology system malfunctioned again as Fritz beat Russian 17th seed Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7/4) to reach his first Wimbledon semi-final. Swedish umpire Louise Azemar Engzell had to stop a point in the opening game of the fourth set on Court One when "fault" was incorrectly called after a Fritz forehand landed well inside the baseline. The call of "fault", rather than "out", and positioning of the ball suggested the system was still tracking Fritz's serve as opposed to a rally and the point had to be replayed. Tournament organisers were forced to apologise and make a change to the system to avoid further issues after a major error in Sonay Kartal's fourth-round defeat to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the women's draw. Meanwhile, Sabalenka fought back from the brink of a shock exit to reach the semi-finals with a gutsy 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win against Germany's Laura Siegemund. She twice trailed by a break in the final set on Centre Court and was two games away from crashing out before staging a dramatic revival to win in two hours and 54 minutes of unrelenting tension. The 27-year-old top seed is through to the Wimbledon semi-finals for the third time after losing at that stage in 2021 and 2023. Beaten in the Australian and French Open finals this year after winning the US Open in 2024, Sabalenka remains on course to reach a fourth successive Grand Slam title match. Sabalenka remains the only one of the top six women's seeds still standing at the tournament after two weeks of shocks. "That was a real test. I need some time to cool down and recover after this," Sabalenka said. In the semi-finals, the Belarusian will face American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova, who defeated Russian world number 50 Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 7-6 (11/9). (AFP)

How elite matchmaking is coming back as dating apps like Tindr lose favour
Frustrated with dating apps, singles are shelling out for high-end matchmaking. Advertisement 'We had our biggest month of sales in the history of the company last month, and we've been around for 15 years,' says Adam Cohen-Aslatei, CEO of the US-based matchmaking service Three Day Rule. 'Our business is not shrinking.' He is not alone. Demand for personalised dating services is growing, according to companies interviewed, with clients citing 'app fatigue' and a desire for meaningful connection as the motivation for ditching the swipes. Matchmakers aim to find compatible romantic partners for serious relationships or marriage. Members are vetted before a first date, with checks on criminal and marriage records, and often get paired by preferences such as height or religion. The service is back in the cultural zeitgeist with Materialists, a film about a high-powered matchmaker (Dakota Johnson) torn between a wealthy suitor (Pedro Pascal) and a poor one (Chris Evans) in her own love life. The film was written by director Celine Song, who once worked as a matchmaker in New York. Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in a scene from Materialists.
