It will be a clash with Britain's Norrie – the last home player standing – who overcame Nicolas Jarry in five nail-biting sets on Sunday. Norrie in fact had a two-set lead before Jarry fought back, but the Briton eventually downed the big-serving Chilean to reach his second Wimbledon quarter-final.
