- Norrie’s trainers taken from locker room before match
- ‘It’s very tough to play with brand-new shoes’
Cameron Norrie has revealed that his tennis shoes were taken from his locker overnight before he contested his final at the BNP Paribas Open, forcing him to play the biggest match of his life with brand new shoes.
“I got to the tennis today, every day I left my shoes on top of the locker. I think someone, I don’t know who it was, maybe someone from the cleaners or something last night, came through and they threw the three pairs of shoes that I had away,” said Norrie after he defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to win his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells.
