Cameron Norrie backs ‘unreal' Carlos Alcaraz to win Wimbledon again

Norrie had hoped to become just the third home player in the open era to defeat a men's title holder in SW19 after Roger Taylor and Tim Henman but succumbed to a 6-2 6-3 6-3 quarter-final defeat in just an hour and 39 minutes. It was Alcaraz's 19th consecutive win at the All England Club and 23rd in a row overall, and Norrie said: 'It was a good experience to play probably the best player in the world at the moment, most confident player, on his best surface. The quest for a third consecutive #Wimbledon title continues — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 8, 2025 'I think he is the favourite, for sure. His level was unreal. I felt like a lot of the time, if I didn't do enough with the ball, he was going to punish me with a lot of his different options, with power. He's got the drop (shot) as well available. 'So I think I was missing a little bit more because I was pressing a bit more than usual, but I think that's credit to him – his physicality, his movement and power.' It has nevertheless been an excellent fortnight for the 29-year-old, who almost dropped out of the top 100 earlier this season three years after reaching the semi-finals here and has shown he can be a factor again. Norrie will climb back to around 43 in the rankings following the tournament and, having been out for three months last summer with an arm injury, missing the US Open, he has a good opportunity to make further significant gains. 'I told you guys that I was hitting the ball well all year. I wanted it to happen. I think actually winning the matches and actually going through these experiences, you can take so much confidence from this. 'I want to just continue to play with confidence. I feel like I've been through a lot of tough moments in this week and a half and a lot of different kind of players and being the favourite, being the underdog in different scenarios. I think I've tested myself in all different aspects of the game, which is huge. 'I really feel like I'm enjoying my tennis a lot. I think that's most important.' Norrie's progress meant he finally had to move from his favoured Court One on to the main stage, where he had lost four of his five previous matches, including against Alexander Zverev last year and Novak Djokovic in the last four in 2022. Against Djokovic he had taken the first set to conjure dreams of a home finalist but here, with Lord of the Rings actor Sir Ian McKellen watching from the first row of the Royal Box, the wizardry came from Alcaraz. Once the Spaniard had saved four break points in the second game, he reeled off five in a row, and Norrie never got close to him again. Alcaraz served brilliantly whenever his opponent had the sniff of an opportunity and eased through to a semi-final clash with American fifth seed Taylor Fritz on Friday. Ready to leave it all on the course, fellas? @CarlosAlcaraz 🤝 @ — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) July 8, 2025 The 22-year-old was delighted with his performance, saying: 'Today was a great, great match. I think the best match so far in the tournament. Just really happy to see myself keep going, keep improving after every match, each day.' Alcaraz now has two days to prepare for his clash with Fritz, but his first priority is to try to set up a round of golf with Spider-Man actor Tom Holland, who was at the All England Club on Tuesday. 'There are some videos of him playing golf,' said Alcaraz. 'I would say he could beat me. But I would love to play against him. For me it would be such an honour. Let's see if he will be available, and we'll tee it up.'

WIMBLEDON COURT REPORT: American Amanda Anisimova melts hearts with Court 1 partner, while Alfie Hewett lifts British gloom and it's misery for 16-year-old Cruz

Action at the All England Club always seems to pass in a blur and this year has been no different. As Day 9 concludes, the end of the third Grand Slam is in sight, with half of the semi-final line-ups confirmed after some thrilling play at Wimbledon. In the singles, faint British hopes ended with Cameron Norrie 's straight-sets defeat by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. But there remains real optimism in the men's and mixed doubles. Mail Sport's James Sharpe was on hand to recap some of the things you may have missed. KLAXON FOR YOUNG JAXON! Anastasiya Pavlyuchenkova, the Russian at the heart of the Sonay Kartal line-call failure who accused officials of pro-Brit bias crashed out of the quarter-finals in straight sets to Amanda Anisimova. A jubilant Anisimova then melted hearts as she brought her nephew Jaxon on court for her post-match interview. Jaxon, who turns four on Thursday, only flew into England yesterday morning. 'He's more tough than me,' said Anisimova, who faces Aryna Sabalenka in the semis. HEWETT LIFTS GLOOM At least it was not all doom and gloom for the Brits on Tuesday as Alfie Hewett got his wheelchair singles title defence under way in style as the 10-time Grand Slam singles and 22-time doubles champion dispatched Spain's Daniel Caverzaschi 6-1, 6-2 in 54 minutes. His long-term doubles partner Gordon Reid found it less easy-going, needing to come from a set down and win a final-set tie-break to reach the second round. They could face each other in the final. SALISBURY BREAKS LOOSE Joe Salisbury booked his place in the mixed doubles final for the first time since 2021 alongside Brazilian Luisa Stefani as they saw off second seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Zhang Shuai in straight sets. Salisbury, a six-time Grand Slam winner, had to come through two hotly-fought tie-breaks to triumph and will face Sem Verbeek and Katerina Siniakova in Thursday's final. 'I felt quite calm, we've played quite a few tie breaks this week,' said Salisbury. MISERY FOR CRUZ It was a day to make us all feel old as Australian Lleyton Hewitt, the 2002 Wimbledon champion, and his son Cruz were both in action. The 16-year-old Cruz went out in the second round of the boys singles in an hot-tempered affair on Court 5, as he vented his frustrations in the direction of his dad who sat court-side, before Lleyton took part in the invitational doubles alongside Mark Philipoussis in a far more light-hearted affair.

Box-office Ben Shelton has won the hearts of British tennis fans despite his taunts, writes DAVID COVERDALE... and he's now primed to derail world No 1 Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon

He has described a full English breakfast as 'garbage', complained that our roads are the worst in the world, and even poked fun at Annabel Croft. And yet brash Ben Shelton has won the hearts of British tennis fans on his way to the Wimbledon quarter-finals. When he steps on to No 1 Court to play top seed Jannik Sinner, there is no doubt the crowd will be chiming for Big Ben. In appearance, sleeveless Shelton has evoked memories of another left-hander, Rafa Nadal, the only man to win Wimbledon in a vest. In playing style, he has based his game on another big server, Andy Roddick, the last American man to reach the final here and also to win a Grand Slam. But in personality, box-office Shelton stands alone. You need only listen to his on-court interviews, which have become a must-watch throughout this tournament. Following his third-round win over Marton Fucsovics, the 22-year-old issued a public plea to get his sister Emma more time off work so she could stay at Wimbledon to support him. Her employers Morgan Stanley duly obliged. Then, after beating Lorenzo Sonego in the last 16, he teased interviewer Croft when she asked him about being a 'quarterbacker' as a child. As it goes, Shelton believes the bullet arm he honed throwing American footballs helped him develop his formidable serve, which was clocked at 150mph earlier this year, one of the fastest of all time. Adding to Shelton's story is the fact he is coached by his father Bryan, who reached the last 16 at Wimbledon in 1994. But another ever-present in his box here has been doting girlfriend Trinity Rodman. The 23-year-old is a USA footballer and the daughter of NBA legend Dennis Rodman. She is estranged from her dad and was furious when pundit Andrew Castle mentioned him on BBC commentary. 'My dad's not even in MY life,' Rodman — who Castle also mistakenly called Tiffany — wrote on Instagram. 'No need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don't want him talked about during mine.' Having a celebrity partner, of course, only adds to the stardust of Shelton, who has 1million followers on Instagram and 430,000 on TikTok and is already a hero to youngsters in the US. 'He is a guy kids can relate to,' James Blake, the American former world No 4, told Mail Sport. 'With the TikTok generation, they are all seeing him and looking up to him. Every young player wants to be like him. I was at a junior tournament recently and I saw a kid who had the same hair, the same sleeveless outfit and did everything mimicking Ben. 'He is a really good role model. He's still got a college attitude. He's engaging with the crowd. He's having fun.' Shelton will hope that fun continues today against Sinner. The 10th seed has lost his last five meetings against the Italian world No 1. But there will be no better time for Shelton to play Sinner. who is nursing an elbow injury he sustained in his lucky fourth-round escape against Grigor Dimitrov, who was forced to retire injured when holding a two-set advantage. Sinner had an MRI scan yesterday morning and later cancelled his afternoon practice session, but did hit some balls indoors for 30 minutes. His injury has US fans believing they could be about to see their first men's winner of Wimbledon since Pete Sampras beat Patrick Rafter to win the last of his seven titles 25 years ago, with Taylor Fritz already into the semi-finals. The fifth seed defeated Russian Karen Khachanov 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 in yesterday's quarter-final to set up a last-four showdown with defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. In doing so, 27-year-old Fritz became the first American man to reach a Wimbledon semi since John Isner seven years ago. 'It's an amazing feeling,' said the US Open runner-up. 'I'm feeling great to get through it. The match was going so well for me for two sets. I felt I couldn't miss and then all of sudden I'm making a ton of mistakes. 'I've never had a match just flip so quickly, so I'm happy with how I came back in the fourth set and got it done. Having played the quarter-finals here twice, and lost in five sets twice, I don't think I could have taken another one. I'm happy I'm going to play the semis here.' Before that, though, it is Big Ben's time.
