Norrie’s final round of four at the All England Club earned him free coffee and dry cleaning – now he wants Davis Cup success in Glasgow to add to a spectacular summer.

“I like their team. I’ve never been to a live game. If the time is right, I’d love to go”

“I went to the dry cleaners and they said, ‘ah, a great Wimbledon, you know, don’t worry about it this time.’ I said, ‘guys, it’s fine, I can pay for it’ .
