Cameron Norrie held off a spirited fightback from Chilean qualifier Nicolas Jarry to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals and keep alive British interest in the singles.
British number three Norrie led by two sets – and held a match point in the third-set tie-break – before finally securing a 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (7-9) 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 win under the Court One roof.
After missing his first opportunity, the 29-year-old left-hander regrouped admirably to seal his progress – almost two hours later – at the second opportunity.
The piercing roar which greeted victory indicated Norrie’s delight at coming through a bruising battle where he needed all of his characteristic determination and endurance.
His win came a couple of hours after fellow Briton Sonay Kartal – the final home player in the women’s singles – was beaten on Centre Court.
Norrie is ranked 61st in the world after a difficult couple of seasons, but is now one more victory away from replicating his run to the SW19 semi-finals in 2022.
To do that, he may have to come through one of the most difficult tasks in the sport – beating reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight.
Spain’s Alcaraz, seeded second, faces Russian 14th seed Andrey Rublev in their fourth-round match on Sunday.
