After a season of ups and downs and recovery, Cameron Norrie managed to turn around his year in the second half of the calendar. Currently ranked No. 27 in the ATP rankings, he will be a seeded player in Australia and hopes that the great form he displayed in the final stretch of 2025 will accompany him during the new season.

Enjoying Tennis and Managing the Season

Norrie explained how he changed his approach during the 2025 season: “At the beginning of the year, I was trying too hard. I thought I was ready to return to the top 50 or top 30, but I was putting too much pressure on each match instead of just going out to play and let things happen. I knew I had the level, but I needed to take a step back. The most important thing was to enjoy my tennis again.”

That change in mindset was key to his results. After reaching the semifinals in Geneva, he was defeated by Djokovic at Roland Garros and made it to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. “Suddenly I started playing really well, enjoying the clay courts and reaching the fourth round of Roland Garros, and then I had a good Wimbledon. It all started with that impetus. Before that, during the year, I hadn't been able to reach that sense of freedom on the court.”

Criticisms of the ATP Calendar

Regarding criticisms of the ATP calendar, Norrie wanted to clarify his opinion: “Yes, the calendar is long, but it depends on each player to decide when to rest. There is always pressure from tournaments because you see other players progressing, but in the end, what matters is enjoying tennis, and that's what I did this year.”

The British player also noted that players have choices: “You are not obliged to play all the ATP 250s; there are certain 500 and 1000 tournaments that are almost mandatory, but you can organize your schedule. In the past, I always tried to play everything and pushed my body to the limit. I learned that it is important to know your preferences, to know which tournaments you like, and to adapt the schedule according to your needs.”
