Tennis star Cameron Norrie has often spoken about his Scottish roots — he once brought them up in a slightly awkward exchange with a journalist who had asked if he was starting to sound "English". But fewer people are aware of his Welsh heritage or his link to our print title, the Western Mail.
The 26-year-old British number one, who will face defending Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in Friday's semi-final, was born in South Africa and raised in New Zealand but he represents Britain. His mum Helen was born in Cardiff and his dad David in Glasgow.
Helen's dad Glyn Williams, the former chief sub-editor of the Western Mail in Cardiff, was born in the city in 1928 and brought up in Adamsdown, attending St Illtyd's High School. He went on to study at Harvard Business School before becoming a reporter for newspapers in Breconshire and Montgomeryshire.
