Norrie has won four ATP Tour singles titles, including the illustrious Masters 1000 title at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters, and one doubles title won at Estoril with fellow British player Kyle Edmund. Norrie currently sits as the British number 1 in men’s singles and has held this title since October 18, 2021.

Norrie didn’t set foot on English soil until age 16, and then two, he only lived in London for three years before going off to Fort Worth, Texas, to attend university.
