CAMERON NORRIE stormed into Wimbledon’s last eight as the last Brit standing.
And he urged the country to roar him on to even more success after beating Tommy Paul.
South Africa-born Norrie loves the support and on Tuesday takes on Belgian David Goffin in his first Grand Slam quarter-final.
Ninth-seed Norrie, 26, said: “My background is from various places but I’m living here, based here.
“I feel good coming back here, practising with the younger Brits.
“I love rugby, cricket. I’m feeling pretty at home. It’s great to follow all the sports here.”
Norrie is the last of 17 British players left in the singles and has never been this far at a Major tournament before.
He added: “I am the last one left so why not get behind me even more?
“From the first round everyone has been supporting me and it showed in tougher situations.”
British No 1 Norrie saw off American Paul in straight sets — 6-4 7-5 6-4 — in front of a rapturous Court One crowd.
He is favourite to win against world No 58 Goffin, 31, a Wimbledon quarter-finalist in 2019.
Norrie said: “A lot of the top players get better as the tournament progresses. I feel like that with myself, for sure.
“I feel like I’m improving and my level is getting better.
“Definitely a little bit more calm in the bigger matches. It’s nice to do it that way round.”
