The British tennis star reveals how angry runs, watching old videos of himself and an 'underdog mentality' will help him arrest his recent slump in form in time for WimbledonHe had just been beaten by Emil Ruusuvuori, ranked 44 below him the world, having failed to take any of seven break point chances.Minutes later, he was on a five-mile run to try and scratch the itch his 95-minute match had not.Norrie had been simmering for some time.
“It’s obviously been tough and frustrating but it’s not like I’m losing 6-2, 6-2 week in, week out,” Norrie insists.This week he played the Giorgio Armani Classic, a champagne-soaked exhibition in the exclusive surroundings of the Hurlingham Club in central London, in an effort to win a “tough one”. Beforehand, Norrie had spent the morning reminiscing. In an effort to rediscover form, he dug out a recording of himself playing Tommy Paul,“To see what I was doing in bigger points, how I was playing and how calm and composed I looked,” he says.
Norrie, who worked his way up to top of the college rankings before methodically doing the same to reach the top 10 in the pro game, says this search for form is a new experience.“I think tennis especially you have to be on it week in, week out.For the first time since 2019, Norrie was not seeded at SW19. He was handed a kind fate of facing Argentina’s Facundo Diaz Acosta, with fellow Brit Jack Draper possibly in the second round.
