Cameron Norrie has matched an excellent Andy Murray record with a surprise second round Wimbledon win over Frances Tiafoe.
The 2022 semi-finalist came from a set down to beat the American 12th seed 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-5 on No.1 Court in the tournament’s latest shock result.
Norrie has claimed his second career win over TiafoeGettyTiafoe has become the 14th top 32 seed in the men’s singles event to lose either their first or second round matches in SW19.
But it’s Norrie who has made the headlines with a victory that sees him go level with tennis legend Murray at Grand Slams.
He is just the second Brit after Murray to beat ATP top 20 opposition at all four major events since the rankings were introduced in 1973.
Norrie will face the winner of Jiri Lehecka vs Mattia Bellucci in back-to-back third round appearances at Wimbledon.
During his post-match interview with the BBC, the 29-year-old spoke on his delight with another crucial victory on home turf.
“I was really happy when I saw the schedule and that I was on Court One, it’s my favourite court and has an amazing atmosphere,” he said.
“I think we both played at a really high level and I stayed so calm. I was just playing point for point, I served so well and I was enjoying the battle.
“It was really nice to play Frances in a big match here at Wimbledon and I was really happy with my level. I didn’t drop too much and I was happy to get over the line in the end.”
Norrie was all smiles when walking onto the court and when asked about his delight, he added: “It’s so special. You forget so quickly.
“I walked around the corner and you just feel goosebumps and I feel this as such a special court, a special tournament, so much tradition and you walk out with a different sort of feeling.
