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.
