- American improved ground game after sticky start
- Home favourite unable to find consistent form
Cameron Norrie received a decisive beating from Chris Eubanks in the heat of the mid-afternoon sun at Wimbledon, the British No 1 beaten by the tall American who only broke into the world’s top 100 this year but has kept climbing since.
Norrie never found consistent form and played his best tennis on the defensive, as he lost the match 3-6, 6-3, 2-6, 6-7 (3). For Eubanks, it was a memorable moment in an otherwise unheralded career as he used the weapons of his service and a whipped forehand to smash his way through the home favourite’s dogged resistance.
