Cameron Norrie

Cameron Norrie (; born 23 August 1995) is a British professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 8 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he achieved in September 2022. He also has a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 117, attained in June 2022. Norrie has won five ATP Tour singles titles, including an ATP Masters 1000 title at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters, and one doubles title. He has reached one Grand Slam semifinal, at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships, in addition to the fourth round at each of the three other majors. Between October 2021 and June 2024, he held the title of British No. 1 in men's singles.

Born in South Africa in 1995, Norrie moved to New Zealand with his family at the age of three and made his junior tennis debut in 2009. In 2013, he began representing Great Britain after the Lawn Tennis Association provided him with better funding. Norrie finished his junior career ranked as high as No. 10 in the world. In 2014, Norrie began playing collegiate tennis at Texas Christian University (TCU) and in 2017, he ended his final season as the school's first-ever player to be ranked No. 1 by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

Shortly after turning professional in 2017, Norrie made his top 200 debut that July following his first ATP Challenger title in Binghamton and ended the year with three Challenger titles from four finals. The following season, in May 2018, Norrie broke into the top 100 after reaching his first semifinal on the ATP Tour at the Lyon Open. In January 2019, Norrie achieved his first ATP final in Auckland, which propelled him into the top 70. In 2021, Norrie contended in six ATP finals, including his first at the ATP 500 and ATP Masters 1000 levels, won two titles, and sealed his top 20 debut following his victory in Indian Wells. He continued his momentum into the 2022 season, encapsulated by his rise into the top 10 after claiming two additional ATP titles from four finals and reaching his maiden major semifinal at Wimbledon.

A left-handed player with a two-handed backhand, Norrie has garnered a reputation for playing with unconventionally contrasting techniques. While his forehand usually generates heavy topspin, Norrie's backhand has been regarded as one of the flattest on tour and is often compared to that of Jimmy Connors. Norrie's strengths also lie in his footspeed and defensive capabilities aided by his strong cardiovascular fitness to maintain high shot tolerance and consistency. With regards to his point construction, Norrie's continued development in his forecourt abilities have led him to become an all-court player.
