Jack Draper vs Cameron Norrie LIVE! Wimbledon 2024 latest score ...
On a big day of home interest at Wimbledon, the British men’s no1 takes on the British men’s no2 for the first time at SW19. Draper last month replaced Norrie as the top-ranked men’s player in the country, and a win today would see him reach the third round of this home Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
Norrie was a semi-finalist at Wimbledon back in 2022 but came into this year's tournament out of form, recording 16 wins and 13 losses ahead of today’s clash. However, he holds a favourable 2-0 career head-to-head record over his friend, which includes a win on grass in 2021.
The pair get on well together but Draper says that Norrie "won't like the fact that I'm no1", while the British no2 has piled the pressure on his younger opponent by labelling him as the favourite for this match. Draper came through a marathon five-setter against Elias Ymer to tee up this tie, while Norrie ousted Facundo Diaz Acosta in straight sets. Follow Draper vs Norrie at Wimbledon live below!
