Newcastle United supporter Cameron Norrie through to Wimbledon semi-final

Newcastle United supporter Cameron Norrie will face defending champion Novak Djokovic after defeated David Goffin 3-6 7-5 2-6 6-3 7-5 on Court One at Wimbledon. The ninth seed had to twice come from behind to defeat the unseeded Belgian to become the first British seed since Andy Murray to reach the semi-final since 2016.

The world number 12 is the last Brit standing in the singles competition after Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu were both knocked out in the second round. A number of fans have suggested renaming the infamous Murray Mound at Wimbledon - previously dubbed Henman Hill - to Norrie Knoll.

It's the first time in Norrie's career that he's reached the last four of a grand slam tournament and will face Djokovic on Friday on Centre Court. The pair have previously met on the ATP tour with Djokovic winning the ATP Tour final in straight sets back in 2021.
