CAM NORRIE laughed off being sledged by English fans on a rowdy outside court to reach the third round of the Australian Open.
After a day of rain delays, the British No.1’s tie with Frenchman Constant Lestienne was shifted to Court 13 at 10.15pm.
Three well-oiled English supporters barracked the son of a Scot with chants of: “You’re just a sh** Andy Murray” before they were ejected. They sang: “Lestienne’s going home” as they were escorted out by security.
Another local fan was removed for trying to support Norrie in the final set by shouting: “C’mon Cam, you’re world No.11. Show the c***”
Croatian umpire Marija Cicak got out of the chair to cross the court and tell the man off before calling two burly security guards.
