Author of a magnificent 2021 season (29 wins against 13 defeats), Cameron Norrie is slowly establishing himself as one of the safe values of the circuit. A multi-surface player, the British left-hander has to face a certain Roger Federer this Saturday in the third round of Wimbledon. A gala match for the current 34e world player even if he has already faced Switzerland, it was in 2019 during the Hopman Cup. And he had also received a small correction (1–6, 1–6).
“Roger is a legend of this sport. I see him very comfortable here, he has won many games, more than in any other Grand Slam. It will be a pleasure to face him again. I have played against him once before and he destroyed me quite easily. I’m going to leave with the idea of playing one more match like any other. But I have to keep in mind that his game is perfectly suited to grass. I got to see his first round match against Mannarino and he played really well, he seems very comfortable. It will be a high level game no matter what. I have a lot of respect for him, for what he has done in this sport and for this sport. “
