CAMERON NORRIE battled from a set down to beat Frances Tiafoe and book his place in round three.
Norrie reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2022 and with the draw opening up, will be hopeful of another deep run again.

Tiafoe was seeded 12th and took the opening set[/caption]
He faced the No12 seed Tiafoe – himself a former Grand Slam semi-finalist – on No1 Court.
And the world No61 Brit produced the shock in front of an adoring home crowd.
Tiafoe took the opener 6-4 and looked to be in control.
But Norrie came roaring back, digging deep to rattle off the next three sets – breaking the American right at the end of the fourth.
He wrapped up the 4-6 6-4 6-3 7-5 victory in just shy of three hours on court.
And the former world No8 will face either Mattia Bellucci or Queen’s finalist Jiri Lehecka in round three.
Lehecka downed British No1 Jack Draper in the semis at Queen’s before losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final.
