No 9 seed Cameron Norrie beat American Tommy Paul, the No 30 seed, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Sunday.

Norrie, ranked No 12, will play Belgian David Goffin next.

The British No 1 won just a few hours after the last British woman in the draw, Heather Watson, lost in straight sets to Jule Niemeier – and in his on-court interview afterwards, Norrie joked to the crowd: “I’m the last one left, why not get behind me now even more?”

Amidst laughter, he added: “From the first round everyone has been behind me, supporting me, and it’s definitely showed in some of the tougher situations in the matches, especially serving for the match there – I was going through a lot of different scenarios in my head, and I was able to stay calm enough to close it off.”
