Indian Wells champion highlighted his supreme confidence by predicting his own surge up the rankings this season
At the beginning of the 2021 tennis season, numerous ATP tennis players were asked to predict the year ahead for a cutesy social media video. When it was Cameron Norrie’s turn, his response to who he thought would enjoy a breakthrough season was telling – himself.
As he now stands as the new British No 1, a top 20 player and a Masters 1000 champion, it is a small reminder of the confidence that he has carried with him up the rankings. While numerous experts and former professionals have admitted their surprise at his rise this year, Norrie’s ambition is stratospheric. He has constantly affirmed that his goal is to be No 1 in the world and he has already moved closer to it than most imagined.
