Tennis career
Norrie was born in South Africa to a Scottish father and a Welsh mother. The family later moved to New Zealand and Norrie represented New Zealand as a junior, becoming ranked number 10 in the world, before switching his allegiance to Great Britain due to available funding.[1]
Norrie played college tennis at Texas Christian University, where he became the top-ranked male college tennis player.[2] He turned professional in June 2017, after putting his studies on hold.[3]
Norrie made his ATP main draw debut at the 2017 Aegon Championships after receiving a wildcard into the singles main draw, where he was defeated by Sam Querrey in the first round.[4] Norrie earned his first ATP main draw victory after defeating Horacio Zeballos at the 2017 Aegon International Eastbourne.
