Cameron Norrie sunk to his worst result at Wimbledon since 2019, in a subpar loss to American debutant Chris Eubanks.
British No 1 Norrie was ejected in the second round on Friday, continuing a pattern of failing to go beyond the first week of slams. Apart from last year’s career-high run to the Wimbledon semi-finals, Norrie has never made it beyond the fourth round at any major event – and even that was a one-time thing at the US Open last September.
Before his stellar performance here 12 months ago, Norrie was mostly unknown among British tennis fans.
Among those who followed his career, he had a reputation for under-delivering at the biggest tournaments despite his consistent ranking within the top 20. He appears to be slipping back into his old ways, as at both the Australian Open and French Open he exited in the third round.
His 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 loss to Eubanks – a player ranked 30 places below him at 43 – was a big upset. It was particularly disappointing as Norrie had been full of confidence ahead of the tournament.
