One guy that I really have taken notice of in this tournament and think he just might claw his way really deep into this thing is England's own Cam Norrie. He is not only playing awesome tennis but he has the crowd going crazy at his matches.

Heather Watson pleads with fans to turn up as Wimbledon attendances continue to slump
COVID-19 cases are surging rapidly in the U.K. (as well as elsewhere).
That, plus the unfair and discriminatory ban of Russian and Belarusian players I think explains most of the lesser attendance/interest.

Totally overlooked, because one has to admit that he has a very poor record in Slams. But indeed, he is playing well, and will have all the crowd behind him. Which in the UK, sometimes can be bad, but he is handling it well. And his next two matches are winnable.

I could definitely see him getting passed Paul and Tiafoe setting up the Djokovic match which would be really tough.

Definitely tough but Norrie is mature enough to not be intimidated, I think. Never know.

He puts me to sleep and the forehand looks weird, so I have never seen him play a whole match. I can’t think of a top 10 player that I have watched less, ever.

If there is a God in heaven, he will play Botic in the Final.

So far, so good - still on track for this to happen...

I think in the days to come I will see more of his matches.
