Cameron Norrie vs Steve Johnson LIVE : Brit bids to make Wimbledon fourth round | Tennis | Sport
Cameron Norrie makes his first appearance on Centre Court at Wimbledon 2022 today as he takes on America’s Steve Johnson. Norrie is one of the last big-name Brits standing after Andy Murray, Emma Raducanu and Dan Evans suffered early exits. The 26-year-old, who had to go through five sets to overcome Jaume Munar of Spain last time out, has insisted he is ‘in it to win it’ ahead of his Wimbledon clash with world No 93 Steve Johnson.
“I’m feeling good and looking forward to the next one,” he said. “Winning would be a big shock to me. But I’m still in the tournament. I mean, I’m going to have to do things a lot better in terms of execution. But I’m feeling good physically.
“There is a long way to go so I’m not really focusing on that. Just taking it match by match. There were six British men through the first round for the first time in a while. A lot of opportunities. A lot of younger guys coming through – that’s great.
“But if I’m the last Brit standing, it is what it is. I’m going to go and treat it like any other match, go out and compete as hard as I can. I’m playing one of my favourite tournaments, if not my favourite tournament of the year. So I just need to go out and enjoy that. It is another opportunity to embrace the pressure, embrace the challenge of trying to make the second week.”
