The British No 1 and his father recall their family highs and lows before the Centre Court clash with Novak Djokovic
As Cameron Norrie steps out on to Centre Court against Novak Djokovic in front of his home crowd for the biggest match of his career, his first grand slam semi-final, it will mark another step in an arduous journey that has taken him across three countries and demanded sacrifices along the way.
The 26-year-old Norrie was born in South Africa, where his Scottish father and Welsh mother lived, but in his youth one of their neighbours was the victim of an armed carjacking. The incident frightened Norrie’s family and his parents decided to leave the country, moving to New Zealand. Norrie’s father considers it one of the best decisions they made.
