Wimbledon fans face travel delays as they race to see Cameron Norrie
There were 'severe delays' across the District, Central, and Hammersmith and City lines on Tuesday morning. Transport for London (TfL) has apologised to customers affected by the delays on the ninth day of the championships. British singles hopes at Wimbledon rest on Norrie after his gruelling five-set win followed Sonay Kartal's defeat on Sunday. Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, is only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Sir Andy Murray. He faces defending champion Alcaraz on Centre Court on Tuesday afternoon. Former British tennis player Laura Robson said having the backing of the Wimbledon crowd would be 'massive' for Norrie. Cameron Norrie celebrates his victory against Nicolas Jarry (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Robson told the PA news agency: 'I think it got him through the last match. 'He was absolutely dead on his feet at one point, but then got the crowd involved and just uses them really well because of his college background and everything that he has in his repertoire to get them fired up. 'I think it's obviously going to be a tough match against Carlos and it's on Centre Court – Cam probably requested to play elsewhere, but I think he'll enjoy it.' Former British tennis player Greg Rusedski said: 'Alcaraz, in my opinion, is the new Federer in our game. 'But Cam has done fantastically well. He's beaten him the last time they played, but that was two years ago. 'So get it loud, do it proud, and he's going to battle like no tomorrow. He's got an engine that can go all day.' Warm and sunny weather is forecast in SW19 for much of the rest of the week, with temperatures predicted to hit 30C on Friday. People in the Wimbledon queue enjoyed sunny and warm weather on Tuesday morning, in contrast to blustery and wet conditions on Monday. Speaking to the media on Tuesday, 1997 US Open finalist Rusedski said: 'It was super, super hot the opening two days – when it's hot, the ball goes through the air and it's harder to control. 'That's very untypical British weather and we're going to get that again with the heatwave at the final weekend as well.' All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton has said the tournament would have a 'catch-up' with TfL after the championships to look ahead 'in terms of investment into the District line'. Speaking to the media on Monday, Ms Bolton said: 'We have an excellent relationship with TfL, we're working with them all year. 'We have been and remain clear with them that delivering an event of this scale in this part of London requires the infrastructure in this part of London to support us in doing that.' A TfL spokesperson said on Tuesday: 'We apologise to customers affected by the disruption on the District line today. We are working hard to restore a good service. 'District line customers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to check before they travel using TfL Journey Planner or the TfL Go app.'

MP demands answers over travel chaos at Wimbledon
Paul Kohler, the Labour MP for Wimbledon, posted a letter to X on Wednesday addressed to the Commissioner of Transport for London, raising concerns about repeated issues on the District Line, including signal failures and a fire alert at Southfields – the station closest to the All England Club. He said the problems had severely affected the journeys of residents, commuters and visitors, warning: 'Attendees are now being caught up in cancellations and delays.' I'm acutely aware of ongoing issues with District Line services, affecting both my constituents & visitors during this busy period. I've contacted TfL for urgent updates on recent issues & requested a meeting to discuss improving reliability of services in short & longer term. — Paul Kohler🔶MP for Wimbledon (@PaulKohlerSW19) July 2, 2025 Mr Kohler said he had been told Wimbledon station was 'very crowded' on Tuesday and called on TfL to outline what extra support is in place to keep services running smoothly during the rest of the tournament. On Thursday, Campaign group Save Wimbledon Park, which opposes the All England Club's expansion plans onto nearby parkland, said the tournament's impact on the local area goes beyond the grounds themselves. 'We love the tennis – we do,' the group posted on X. 'But there is a real cost to being taken over, even for just two weeks a year. 'Streets are closed, bus routes diverted, parking a nightmare, tube travel ridiculous and traffic at gridlock.' We love the tennis – we do. But there is a real cost to being taken over, even for just two weeks a year. Streets are closed, bus routes diverted, parking a nightmare, tube travel ridiculous and traffic at gridlock. — Save Wimbledon Park (@SaveWimbldnPark) July 3, 2025 A TfL spokesperson said: 'We apologise to customers affected by the disruption on the District line, which is due to a track fault at Tower Hill. 'Our engineers are working hard to rectify the fault as soon as possible and restore a good service. 'District line customers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to check before they travel using TfL Journey Planner or the TfL Go app.' Despite the travel disruption earlier in the week, conditions have brightened up for day four of the Championships. Sunshine and 24C temperatures returned to south-west London on Thursday, after rain caused delays and sent fans scrambling for umbrellas on Wednesday. On Centre Court, Novak Djokovic continues his bid for an eighth Wimbledon title as he faces British number three Dan Evans in the second round. World number eight Iga Swiatek also returns to action, taking on American qualifier Caty McNally. Number One Court hosts men's top seed Jannik Sinner against Australia's Aleksandar Vukic, before teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva plays Italy's Lucia Bronzetti. Maria Sakkari will meet 2022 champion Elena Rybakina later in the day, while British hope Jack Draper faces a tough test against former US Open winner Marin Cilic.
