Cameron Norrie admits he ‘has a lot to learn’ after Wimbledon exit

Cameron Norrie was on the receiving end of a Novak Djokovic Wimbledon masterclass before admitting he himself has a lot to learn.

Norrie took the first set against Djokovic in the Wimbledon semi-final, but he was quite comprehensively outclassed by the 20-time major winner in the end.

His run to the semi-final was his best performance at a Grand Slam with him never being able to get past the third round before.

Afterwards, he admitted it was an experience he can take much pride from, but also one he must learn from if he wants to repeat, or better, his performance in the future.

“There is a lot that I have to be proud of,” Cameron Norrie said after his Wimbledon exit. “I came here top-seeded, a lot of expectations from the whole country, from myself.

“Winning games where you are the favourite is not easy. Everything has happened very fast, I will have time to reflect on all this.

“I have a lot to learn. I have been improving little by little. You have to be patient with yourself.”

“It’s been a good experience playing against him (Djokovic), especially at the level he has here at Wimbledon.

“It gives me a lot of confidence. I need to keep working hard, I still have aspects of my game to improve. I want to go further and try to win a Slam.”
