Scot always looked up to his fellow Texas Christian University graduate and now faces him in a historic French Open third-round meeting
Over the course of his distinguished career, Cameron Norrie has become an unlikely role model to many of his fellow professionals. He has enjoyed achievements that most dream of, winning a Masters 1000 title, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon and breaking into the world’s top 10, but it is not merely results that have set him apart.
Instead of taking the traditional route to the professional circuit directly from junior competitions, Norrie decided to move at his own pace. He spent three successful years at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth where he developed his game, matured as a person and partied until he was ready to fully commit.
