Cameron Norrie believes he is ready to take over from Sir Andy Murray as Great Britain's torchbearer in Davis Cup ties after his eureka moment at Wimbledon.
Although he was “frustrated” not to pick up any ranking points after his breakthrough run to the semi-finals in SW19, Britain's No.1 wants to surf the wave in front of a home crowd in Glasgow with ties vs Holland, the United States and Kazakhstan. Norrie hopes Murray, for so long the pied piper of Union flag-wavers in Davis Cup cliffhangers, will be among his team-mates at the Emirates Arena from September 14-18.
And Norrie, who burst out of anonymity with a stunning win against Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut on clay in a Davis Cup tie four years ago, feels equipped to take over the baton. He said: “Andy was unbelievable in Davis Cup, watching him doing that, bringing home the Davis Cup for Great Britain was incredible to watch.
