Cameron Norrie makes vow to Carlos Alcaraz after spat with Wimbledon rival
Cameron Norrie is set to take on Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and the British No 3 has received criticism from some of his opponents during the tournament Cameron Norrie insists he will not dial down his "energy" when he faces Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon. On his way to the last eight, Norrie has drawn criticism from Nicolas Jarry and Frances Tiafoe for his antics during their matches. "He was super‑amped," Tiafoe said after Norrie beat him 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 7-5 in the second round. "He was saying 'c'mon' from the first game, which is definitely annoying, but that part bothered me more than the crowd." Jarry was also not happy with Norrie's antics during their fourth-round clash, with the Chilean taking aim at his rival for loudly celebrating his points and the amount of time he was taking over his second serve. However, Norrie is not planning to make any changes to the way he plays when he takes on the reigning Wimbledon champion. "We're playing and we're competing for livelihood out there," Norrie said. "So I want to compete as hard as I can, and I'm not going to tank matches and roll over matches for someone else. I'm doing it for myself, I'm not doing it to make someone else feel bad. READ MORE: Cameron Norrie accused of exploiting Wimbledon rule loophole before Carlos Alcaraz match "I am not doing it for that. I think that is my energy. If they take it personally, it's nothing to do with me. I'm going to have to be tough and bring more energy to have a chance with Charly." Reflecting on his battle with Jarry, which Norrie won 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (7-9) 6-7 (5-7) 6-3, the British No 3 added: "He said I was a little bit vocal and I think: 'That's my energy'. [When] a couple of people have not been too happy with it, I think it's been in a big match. "I think they want to win the match as well, so it's understandable to maybe take it personally. But for me, I'm just aiming it at my team and aiming it at some people and some friends in the crowd. "I think [against Jarry] it was a match where there's some moments with not a lot happening. I think some of the points are maybe not worthy of saying 'vamos' or saying 'c'mon' but it was a match that I really had to do that, because those points that don't mean a lot, if you lose those ones, you can get broken, and the match can go away from you very quickly." Alcaraz has a 4-2 record against Norrie, but the Brit beat him in their last clash in the 2023 Rio Open final. "Facing Cam is always really, really difficult," Alcaraz admitted. "We have really difficult battles already. For me facing him is almost a nightmare, to be honest. He is really tough from the baseline."

Carlos Alcaraz says 'I saw him' as late-night Cameron Norrie observation emerges
Carlos Alcaraz says 'I saw him' as late-night Cameron Norrie observation emerges Cam Norrie faces off against Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon in the quarter-finals in SW19 on Tuesday Cameron Norrie faces Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon in the quarter-finals (Image: Rob Newell - CameraSport via Getty Images ) Cameron Norrie is still flying the flag for Britain at this year's Wimbledon and he is now set to face the daunting task of Carlos Alcaraz in the quarter-finals. The defending champion, fresh from his Grand Slam win in Paris last month, will lock horns with Norrie on Centre Court on Tuesday afternoon. Both players had to dig deep for their place in the last eight, with Norrie seeing off Nicolas Jarry in a four-hour epic on Sunday. There was a bit of needle between the pair too, with an animated handshake taking place after the match concluded. 'For both of us, we really wanted to win the match,' said Norrie. 'Yeah, I think it was obviously frustrating for him to lose. I just told him, 'Man, that was unbelievable level. You competed so well, and I loved the way you kind of responded'. "It was such a good match. The atmosphere was really good. 'I think he just said I was being a little bit too vocal, but I was aiming directly at my team and pulling from the crowd. The atmosphere of the court was so, so good. Article continues below 'Honestly, nothing but credit to Nico for his performance. And to see him not only playing at that level, you know, seeing him enjoying his tennis and coming through quallies so easily and dropping guys, so I wish him all the best. 'I guess we both really wanted to win. It was a huge match, so I can understand where he's coming from.' Alcaraz, meanwhile, had to come from a set down to beat Andrey Rublev 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-4 6-4 under the lights on Centre Court. He now faces Norrie, whom he was beaten in four of their six career meetings - although the latter won their most recent battle in the final of the Rio Open in 2023. The Spaniard says he has already spotted the lengths Norrie is going to to improve his game, catching him practising night and day at Queen's recently. 'Facing Cam is always really, really difficult,' said Alcaraz. 'We have really difficult battles already. 'For me facing him is almost a nightmare, to be honest. Really tough from the baseline. I'm not surprised he's in the quarter-final playing great tennis because I've seen him practicing. 'When he lost at Queen's, he stayed for five days practising morning, afternoon and night. "I saw him. So I'm not surprised at all seeing his level. Article continues below "So it's going to be really different. 'He's playing at home, as well, so he's going to use the crowd on his side. I have to be really strong mentally and focused to play good tennis if I want to beat him.'
