Jul 6, 2025; Wimbledon, United Kingdom; Cameron Norrie (GBR) reacts after winning a point against Nicolas Jarry (CHI)(not pictured) on day seven of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Cameron Norrie prevailed in a wild five-set marathon against Nicolas Jarry from Chile Sunday to assure England home representation in the Wimbledon quarterfinals in London, where he’ll face two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
Norrie overcame two narrow set losses with the opportunity to clinch and downed Jarry 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-7 (7), 6-7 (5), 6-3 in four hours and 27 minutes, giving him his second quarterfinals appearance at Wimbledon (2022).
The 29-year-old is the fourth British player to make multiple Wimbledon quarterfinals, joining Tim Henman, Andy Murray and Roger Taylor.
“At the beginning of this year, I struggled with confidence,” Norrie said. “I want to enjoy my tennis more and I’m doing that. It is a bonus to win but enjoying it is what matters. I am so happy to be in another quarterfinal in the best tournament in the world.”
In managing his best finish at a major, Jarry had an astounding advantage in winners 103-36 and was even more dominant with 46 aces compared to Norrie’s eight.
Jarry staved off elimination in both Sets 3 and 4, rallying from down 5-6 in the former and matching Norrie point for point in the latter before prevailing in a tiebreaker.
“Honestly I don’t know how I did that,” Norrie said. “Credit to Nico (Jarry). He did an unbelievable job. He played better than me in both tie-breaks. I had to keep fighting.”
Buoyed by a partisan home crowd, Norrie came out strong in the fifth set, sprinting out to a 3-0 lead, then pushing it to 4-1 and 5-2 before eventually closing things out.
“He hung in there but I kept taking care of my serve,” Norrie added. “The atmosphere was so good and I appreciate the crowd getting me through.”
His opponent in the quarters will be the second-ranked Alcaraz of Spain, who shook off an opening set loss to take three straight and close out World No. 14 Andrey Rublev 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
The Russian proved himself opportunistic in seizing on Alcaraz’s slow start, pressing his 4-1 advantage into a first-set victory.
But Alcaraz settled into his familiar championship form, earning 41 winners and 22 aces in keeping Rublev off balance.
“Andrey is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful player that we have on Tour,” Alcaraz said. “Without a doubt, with how aggressive he is to the ball, with that forehand, with those shots, it’s really difficult. To face him, you feel like he’s pushing you to the limit with every ball, (making you) run side to side.
“That makes it really difficult to face him, but I’m just really happy with the way I moved today. I think I played intelligently and smart today against him. Tactically it was a really good match, which I am really proud about.”
ATP No. 20 Karen Khachanov of Russia handled Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 in one hour, 48 minutes. Despite 21 unforced errors, Khachanov dominated play with 44 winners and 20 second return points.
His opponent in the quarters should be well rested, as ATP No. 5 Taylor Fritz advanced to his third Wimbledon quarters appearance with a 1-0 win when Australian Jordan Thompson was forced to retire due to injury. Fritz led 6-1, 3-0 at the time.
“It is not the way I want to go through,” Fritz said. “I was really excited to play Jordan today. I was excited to play some good tennis and it is just sad. He has been battling. He has been playing five-setters. He was out playing a long doubles match yesterday, so he has been battling out here and respect to him for coming out. His body is not right, so I feel bad for him and hope he feels better.”

Chelsea, Estevao and the race for Brazil’s best: ‘Stockpiling’, smart or both?
The scene, as Chelsea’s players flocked to Estevao at the final whistle at Lincoln Financial Field, was telling. There was a language barrier between them, but Cole Palmer and Liam Delap asked their Portuguese team-mate Dario Essugo to tell the Brazilian teenager just what they thought of him.That Club World Cup quarter-final was Estevao’s last game for Palmeiras before he joins Chelsea in a transfer worth an initial £29.3million ($40m) and potentially £49m depending on how well he performs at Stamford Bridge. The stunning goal he scored, thrashing the ball past Robert Sanchez from a tight angle, was a parting gift to the Palmeiras fans as well as the perfect getting-to-know-you to his new team-mates and supporters — well, perfect once Chelsea emerged victorious on the night, anyway.Advertisement“Congratulations, Chelsea,” Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira told reporters after Friday’s game. “You have […]

In Gilberto Mora, Mexico might just have unearthed the next.This time last summer, the teenager had yet to play a single minute of senior football. But over the last week, Mora has started three times for his country, tip-tapping between flailing legs with the ball at his feet, his confidence and dribbling ability utterly defying his years.

‘I turned around and Angus burst into tears’. The stories that explain how much the Club World Cup can mean
When Botafogo striker Igor Jesus deflected a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Paris Saint-Germain goal, there was an eruption of noise inside the Rose Bowl — and more than 2,000 miles east in Philadelphia.Not from Botafogo fans. These were fans of their Brazilian rivals Flamengo, whose red and black hoops had taken over the city in anticipation of their match against Chelsea the following day.AdvertisementRather than groans of discontent at their Rio de Janeiro neighbours causing the biggest upset of the tournament so far, however, there was singing.“We are big rivals from the same state and city so I wasn’t signing for Botafogo — I was singing for my team,” says Isabela, who was watching with her husband Bruno and dozens of Flamengo fans in the Lion Sports Bar’s watch-along party.“We were very surprised how a Brazilian team won […]
