Perhaps Cameron Norrie was feeling the burden of added expectation here on Tuesday as he set out to match, or perhaps even surpass, his run to the semi-finals 12 months ago, but his opening 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 defeat of Tomas Machac, a qualifier making his Wimbledon debut, was not as straightforward as the scoreline might suggest.
The set that got away was a reminder of the occasional frailty in his game that a more experienced opponent will exploit and there was another Norrie flat spot in the fourth set before the British No 1 secured his place in the second round.
