Then there was one Norrie survives spicy five-set marathon but Kartal bows out

Cameron Norrie said last night that it felt "amazing" to be the last Briton still competing at Wimbledon after battling through to the quarter-finals.

Norrie, 29, defeated his Chilean opponent, Nicolas Jarry, in five sets and became the only British player to reach the second week of the event.

Hopes of having two Britons in the quarter-finals for the first time in eight years were dashed when Sonay Kartal, 23, was overpowered by the 34-year-old Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

Norrie, the British No 3, fell to the floor after his four-and-a-half hour 6-3, 7-6, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3 epic in front of a roaring No 1 Court crowd. Spectators appeared to boo Jarry when he confronted Norrie about being "a little bit vocal" as the pair were shaking hands at the net.

Jarry, the world No 143, had earlier complained to the umpire after appearing frustrated with how long Norrie was taking to serve. "It is not a nervous tic, it is something he can control," said the 29-year-old.
