Cameron Norrie won the all-British clash with rising star Jack Draper to reachthe third round at Wimbledon, while Novak Djokovic overcame a terrific fightback from Jacob Fearnley. Draper had replaced Norrie as the country's No 1 male player last month. But former semi-finalist Norrie found his form when it mattered in a 7-6 6-4 7-6 victory on Court One.
'Hopefully I can raise the level in the upcoming rounds.' While Djokovic can now look forward to a third-round showdown with Australian Alexei Popyrin, Fearnley gave himself a pat on the back. 'I was playing the greatest tennis player of all time on Centre Court, Wimbledon, so it's very difficult to be too disappointed,' he said. 'I was super grateful to have the opportunity to play on that court against that opponent. Proud is how I'm feeling right now.
