Tuesday 5 July 2022 04:09 PM Yes we Cam! Britain's number one Cameron Norrie faces Belgian David Goffin trends now
Cameron Norrie is going head to head with Belgian David Goffin at Wimbledon today as he looks to cement a semi-final spot at a Grand Slam for the first time.
The 26-year-old, who is Britain's last remaining hope in the singles, asked Brits to get behind him today - and the crowd are not failing to deliver.
*Goffin 2-1 Norrie*.
Supporting the highest ranked British singles player courtside is likely to be his glamorous girlfriend Louise Jacobi, who cheered him on from the stands during his previous match on Sunday.
Norrie enjoyed the biggest win of his career on Sunday when he beat American Tommy Paul in straight sets to the delight of the crowd and became the first British man to reach the quarter finals since Sir Andy Murray in 2017.
Born to British parents in Johannesburg, the World Number 12 first started playing tennis aged four with a cut-down squash racket on an ‘imaginary court’ next to his home.
Norrie made his debut for Britain’s Davis Cup team the next year and in January 2019 he reached his first ATP final.
His opponent Goffin, 31, is a fluent stylist who was in the top ten five years ago but has slipped to number 58.
He has played the longest match of the tournament in the last round, taking four hours and 36 minutes.
Many British fans might best remember him as the man who, at his peak, was beaten by Andy Murray in the match which clinched the 2015 Davis Cup final for Great Britain.

Cameron Norrie's girlfriend is a glamorous textiles designer who has worked for Calvin Klein before joining New York-based Please Don't Touch as a textiles consultant.
Louise Jacobi has been by Johannesburg-born Norrie's side for at least two years, and has been described as a 'calm, positive impact' by his British parents.
Norrie, 26, gave up his partying, hedonistic lifestyle to be more professional after suffering injuries in a moped crash around six years ago, reported The Times.
While the couple reportedly kept their relationship private initially, they have since gone public on Instagram.
The lithe 20-something now regularly shares pictures on her social media platform with the tennis ace, posting snaps from their romantic getaways - which have included New Zealand, Monaco and Italy.
