Briton has upset a few players with his vociferous cheering but he is sticking to what he knows best for quarter-final
Cameron Norrie said he relishes playing Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon quarter-finals today and will continue to compete with the competitive energy that has driven his success, regardless of what other people think.
"I'm excited to play against him and I'm going to have to play my best level, and even better, to have a chance because he's got such a diverse game," Norrie said. "I'm going to have to be tough and bring more energy to have a chance."
Norrie reached the quarter-finals by holding his nerve in a bruising five-set battle with the Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry on Sunday. Jarry complained afterwards to Norrie about his tendency to cheer loudly after most points. "He said I was a little bit vocal and I think: 'That's my energy,' Norrie said.
