It was a Wimbledon to remember for Cameron Norrie, who, for just the second time in his career, reached the quarter-finals of the Championships. Hopes of a maiden Grand Slam title were slashed by the formidable Carlos Alcaraz, who put him to the sword on Centre Court, winning 2-6, 3-6, 3-6.

Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the Wimbledon semifinals by beating Cameron Norrie 6-2, 6-3, 6-3.

Carlos Alcaraz had warned that facing Cameron Norrie could be a nightmare. For a fleeting moment on Tuesday, it looked like the defending Wimbledon champion might be in for a fright.
