He is the favorite, his level is incredible," says Norrie after his defeat against Alcaraz at Wimbledon
In the Round of 16, Cameron Norrie fell victim to Carlos Alcaraz. Eliminated in three quick sets, the Brit was full of praise for the Spaniard during the press conference.
He stated: "Carlos served really, really well. On the few chances I had, he was exceptional at getting himself out of trouble.
It was a good experience playing against what is probably the best player in the world right now, the most confident on his best surface. I wasn’t able to capitalize on my opportunities, and that showed on the scoreboard.
He has improved a lot. He’s clearly playing with a lot of confidence, and he was very, very good at taking risks with my serve. I wasn’t as precise. He is the favorite, no doubt about it.
His level was incredible. Today, I felt that if I didn’t do enough with the ball, he would punish me with so many of his options, with his power. He also has the drop shot.
I missed a bit more because I was trying to put more pressure than usual, but I think that’s down to his merit, his physicality, his movement, and his power.
