Cameron Norrie on facing Novak Djokovic in the Davis Cup

The Davis Cup has shown us great action after the ATP Finals came to a conclusion. The finals of the premier international men’s tennis tournament are hyping up the competition, and fans are ready to witness it. Norrie is set to face Djokovic in the contest between Serbia and Great Britain. Before players from the two countries started to contest, Norrie shared his thoughts before facing him.

Norrie said that Djokovic seems to love it when the crowd is against him. He also said that he played a great match the last time they met, and he was too good for him on that day. He further said that he will attempt his best against the Serb.

Norrie further said, “You know, like I said, a huge privilege to play against him, compete against him, especially in Davis Cup. I have played him in a few big matches already. I can’t wait. You know, it’s a huge challenge, and I think we’re all ready to play Serbia. We’re excited to get out there, and I think at the end of the day he’s just another player, and I’m going to go run for everything and give it everything, and a good challenge.”

Both the players have met each other three times before, on all surfaces. Djokovic has prevailed each time. Their last bout caused some drama as the Djoker was not happy with Norrie.

Djokovic and Norrie Italian Open drama

The two players faced each other in the Italian Open, and Djokovic won a dominant match. However, the two didn’t have a drama-free match. During a point, Djokovic gave an easy lob when he was at the net and knew the point was over as Norrie could hit it anywhere. However, the ball hit Djokovic’s feet, and Norrie put his hands up to apologize, but the Djoker was already angry.

After the match, he didn’t shake hands properly. He also said that the smash was forgivable, but the acts of Norrie during the rest of the match annoyed him greatly. He accused Norrie of poor sportsmanship, and the Briton hit back by saying Djokovic was creating a fuss over nothing.

The two worked their differences out later and are now on good terms. With their Davis Cup bout inching closer, one can expect another great match between the two.
