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.”
