Paul was also competing in the fourth round at a Slam for the first time, having not dropped a set en route. With the wind in his sails and the crowd behind him, the ninth seed then held firm in the third set as he showed the mentality that saw him capture the Indian Wells title last year to advance. The World No. 12 hit his watertight groundstrokes with great precision and he raised his level when it mattered most, saving all four break points he faced in the first set to lead. ”I think from the first round everyone has been behind me and supported me and I definitely think it has helped in some of the tougher situations in matches,” Norrie added. “To make the quarters for the first time, in front of my family and friends here from college is so special,” Norrie said in his on-court interview. Norrie, who had never been beyond the third round at a major before this week, now leads the 25-year-old Paul 3-1 in their ATP Head2Head series.

And he held his nerve, celebrating with gusto when Paul fired a forehand wide on match point. "I’ve improved and matured a lot on the court; progressing and staying patient on the grass.

Norrie broke in the very first game to assert his authority on the match, and though Paul kept coming at him for the remainder of the set, a lengthy game six - in which Norrie saved four break points - proved crucial as the Briton kept his foot on the accelerator to take the opening set 6-4. "I’m the last Brit left; why not get behind me even more? It's pretty crazy, [I've got] a lot of feelings.

Paul struggled to hit through his defence and he eventually couldn’t escape the errors that piled up. Against an opponent in his first Wimbledon, still acclimatising to the big stage, he set the tone by immediately breaking serve and holding on to take the opening set. Norrie came out nervelessly and he opened the match determined to remain proactive and in control. As he and his coach, Brad Stine, devised a plan for him to become a more attacking player, to incorporate net play far more into his game, the obvious reference point for a net player of modest height was Henman. He binge-watched footage of the former British No 1 and marvelled at what he achieved, becoming a fan for life. But during this period of growth and consolidation, there has been one glaring gap in Norrie’s résumé considering the heights he has reached. Among his palmarès now is one of the biggest tournaments in the sport, Indian Wells. Two months ago he rose into the top 10.
