  • Cameron Norrie has reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the second time, securing his place with a five-set victory over Nicolas Jarry.
  • After reaching the last eight, Norrie is scheduled to play defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, a player he has beaten twice previously, including their last encounter.
  • Alcaraz, a multiple Grand Slam winner, has dropped four sets in the tournament so far, while Norrie is currently playing some of his best tennis.
  • Alcaraz described facing Norrie, particularly on home soil, as "almost a nightmare" due to his challenging baseline play.
  • Norrie, who reached the semi-finals in 2022, is now the only British player remaining in either the men's or women's singles draws at Wimbledon.
