Being British and having reached the semifinals here a few years ago, it's normal for more than one to start seeing Cameron Norrie at this stage of Wimbledon 2025. Although the most important thing, make no mistake, is how well the Johannesburg native has been playing throughout the tournament. After his latest victory and his passage to the round of 16, Cam confessed to the press how he's dealing with the pressure that always pushes you to go two steps beyond where you are.

"At the beginning of the year, I was struggling a bit with expectations, wanting to play well and wanting to win, wanting to do well, but not focusing so much on the basics. Now I'm not going to change anything, I'm feeling the ball well, expectations are just expectations. I want to keep taking care of those details, enjoying the tournament, spending time with my team. As a kid, you dream of playing Wimbledon, if I had seen myself competing here, I would be super proud, so I'm not going to go crazy about being in the fourth round. Of course, it's nice, but I'm happier to see myself competing. I feel good physically and mentally," he valued before facing Nico Jarry in the round of 16.
