Cameron Norrie takes 'ace' train to Wimbledon training
It comes as today's draw means that the British number three will play Roberto Bautista Agut on Monday 30th June for his first match of the Championship. Seasoned campaigner Norrie, 29, has endured a difficult couple of years and before the French Open, had progressed past the third round of a Grand Slam on just a solitary occasion since reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals back in 2022. But he showed signs of his old best in Paris by lowering the colours of Daniil Medvedev, the world No.11 and 2021 US Open champion, in a battle of the baseliners to reach the last-16 and send him towards SW19 with a renewed streak of confidence. Surprised onlookers saw Norrie boarding the train at London Waterloo, where he was sporting his tennis whites and carrying his bag to training. On board, he was spotted reviewing the Wimbledon draw, announced earlier today, on his phone. As he arrived at Wimbledon station, he took selfies with excited fans. Norrie took 'The Ace', an SWR Arterio train named after the Wimbledon Championships, and one of the five Arterios named in celebration of the many sporting locations along the SWR network. Tens of thousands of excited tennis fans are set to take SWR services to the 2025 Championships at Wimbledon, as the All England Club opens its doors to the tennis world once again.
