Cameron Norrie relegated to court one for Wimbledon quarter-final due to SW19 rule change

British number one Cameron Norrie will be forced to play his Wimbledon quarter-final on court one rather than the centre court. The 26-year-old booked his spot in the last eight with a straight sets win over 30th seed Tommy Paul and became the first brit since Andy Murray to do so.

The last remaining Brit in the draw will not be given the honour of playing on Wimbledon’s biggest showcourt as defending champion Djokovic has been given the men’s quarter-final slot on as he faces 10th seed Jannik Sinner.

It comes after the tournament scrapped individual days for the men’s and women’s quarter-finals this year. Traditionally, the second Tuesday of The Championships was reserved for the women’s quarter-finals, with the men’s quarters taking place the following day.
