Cameron Norrie slams "unfair" Wimbledon rule that Novak Djokovic has benefited from

British number one Cam Norrie has expressed his disappointment over a rule that has benefited defending champion Novak Djokovic. Despite no ranking points on offer for this year's edition of Wimbledon, the Serbian winning at SW19 for the seventh time this summer, has guaranteed him a place at the ATP finals in Turin later this month.

This is despite the 21-time grand slam champion sitting just 10th in the ATP race to Turin rankings, which is outside one of the eight qualification spots. It is a key piece of regulation that has remained in place despite the grass-court grand slam taking place under unusual circumstances this summer.

Norrie would have gained 720 points for making the semi-finals at Wimbledon, and the lack of ranking recognition has jeopardised his chances of making the field in Turin. He slammed the rule as unfair and also mentioned the player Djokovic beat in the Wimbledon final - Nick Kyrgios.
