NORR BLIMEY!

Last Brit standing books quarter-final clash with champ Alcaraz after epic five-set battle

- BY NEIL MCLEMAN

AFTER reaching his second Wimbledon quarterfinal in dramatic style last night, Cam Norrie told the crowd on his favourite Court One how he had to overcome “doubts” at the start of the season.

But the British No.3 showed his old grit and belief to take down stroppy Chilean Nicolas Jarry in a five-set classic after failing to take his first match point in the third set tiebreak.

Giant qualifier Jarry fired down 46 aces in his 103 winners and unleashed a verbal volley to the umpire and Norrie afterwards.

Norrie responded by not getting his serve broken once during the longest match of his career and then rising above the provocation from the 6ft 6in South American.

After the home player's 6-3 7-6 6-7 6-7 6-3 win in an energy-sapping four hours and 27 minutes, Jarry was booed by the Court One crowd for continuing to complain to Norrie.

Norrie, who has now won nine of his 10 matches on Court One, said: "He was saying I was a little bit vocal. And I think that is my energy. I was pulling for my team.
