After his first-round show court snub, British No1 Cameron Norrie stepped into at least the fringes of the limelight to become the first home player to reach the third round at this year’s Wimbledon thanks to an enthralling five-set victory over Spain’s Jaume Munar.
Norrie had dealt diplomatically with being made to play his opener on Court 2, despite being the highest seeded Brit in either singles draw, and again had to cede to the triple threat of the Djokovic-Raducanu-Murray headline act on Centre, but eventually made use of a grand enough stage here on Court 1, coming from two-sets-to-one down to win 6-4 3-6 5-7 6-0 6-2.
