WHY JARRY WAS INCENSED BY NORRIE WITH UMPIRE EXCHANGE
Nicolas Jarry openly vented his frustrations over perceived gamesmanship from his opponent and home favourite Cameron Norrie during their fourth-round Wimbledon clash. Jarry found himself on the brink of an exit from SW19 when Norrie took a two-set lead, but the Chilean powerhouse took issue with the British No. 3, over what he felt was excessive ball-bouncing at some crunch moments in the match.

On being the last Brit standing, Norrie added: "Amazing. At the beginning of this year, I struggled with confidence. I want to enjoy my tennis more and I'm doing that.
