There is no player at Wimbledon who is more content than Cameron Norrie to be quietly chalking up win after win away from the spotlight. The last Briton to reach the semi-final at SW19, Norrie is yet to grace Centre Court this year but that will surely all change on Sunday following what was ultimately an emphatic straight sets defeat of Mattia Bellucci.

Bellucci’s lack of experience showed in his first Grand Slam third round tie as he followed superb winners with dips in concentration. Steady Norrie won19 points out of 22 in a hot streak in the second set before the streaky Italian, who beat Britain’s Oliver Crawford in the first round, refound his mojo and fought back from 1-5 down.
