  1. 'Norrie hasn't got the balance right yet'published at 14:37 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    I saw Norrie last year at Wimbledon when he lost to Tsonga in the first round and he looked like he was trying to adapt to the surface and he still looks like he's doing that here.

    He's not sure what his game plan is, when to come in on the serve, when to volley, and he hasn't got the balance right yet.

    Wawrinka 6-2 Norrie

    And in less than half an hour Stan Wawrinka takes this first set as a Norrie backhand drifts wide again.

    Norrie has hit nine unforced errors so far and just one winner. He's not looked at his best.

    Wawrinka 5-2 Norrie*

    Cameron Norrie pauses for a second before restarting this match as he waits for two men in the stands to take their seat. These big grandstands are not full but there's still a very healthy crowd and they're witnessing some great stuff from Stan Wawrinka.

    He slaps a backhand return winner to move to 0-30. The three-time Slam champ is just two points away from this first set.

    Wawrinka 5-2 Norrie*

    Stan Wawrinka on the other hand has definitely got up to speed on serve. He bashes a few more down to cruise to 40-0 before going for an ambitious backhand volley from a couple of strides inside the baseline.

    That one goes wide into the tramlines but the Swiss wins the game soon after.

    *Wawrinka 4-2 Norrie

    Just as I compliment Stan Wawrinka's start, he frames a forehand horribly and it sends a few spectators ducking for cover, half protecting themselves but also half trying to save their drinks.

    Cameron Norrie can't quite get his serve going here but is still looking to move forward at every opportunity. He comes in behind another forehand and seals the game as Stan nets.

    Wawrinka has always struggled with his movement on this surface. He doesn't seem to have the flexibility of some of the other players.

    Wawrinka 4-1 Norrie*

    33-year-old Stan Wawrinka is showing all of his experience. He plays a good, tight service game to consolidate that break with little trouble.

    The Swiss has never looked totally at home on grass, only ever reaching two Wimbledon quarter-finals, but he's started well here.

    Norrie's Davis Cup debut might well be the best Davis Cup debut ever from a British player. He was written off at two sets to love down in what was his first major competitive match on clay, but he came back to win in five sets in a tie in Spain and against a top player. It was a remarkable performance.

    *Wawrinka 3-1 Norrie

    Bash.

    Norrie does well to serve the first three break points but can do nothing to keep out his opponent when Wawrinka swings powerfully at a forehand return a few moments later.

    It whistles beyond Norrie and into clatters into the blue board behind him. The first break goes to Stan the man.

    Wawrinka 2-1 Norrie*

    GB Davis Cup captain Leon Smith is in the stands watching Norrie here. The 22-year-old made a stunning David Cup debut when he won in five sets against Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut on clay. This is an altogether different challenge against big-hitting Wawrinka on grass.

    Perhaps showing his inexperience, in a flash Norrie falls to 0-40 in this service game as he punts the ball into the net.

    Three break points...

  11. Who is Cameron Norrie?published at 14:19 British Summer Time 18 June 2018

    Cameron Norrie is now British number two and ranked within the world's top 100 but plenty of you won't know much about him.

    The leftie - now dubbed the Scottish number one as he is ranked higher than Andy Murray - has climbed from outside the world's top 250 to 80 in under a year.

    The 22-year-old was born in South Africa to a Glaswegian father and a Welsh mother.

    He was raised in New Zealand before going on to play the collegiate tennis circuit in the United States.

    He competed as a junior for New Zealand but now competes under the British flag.

    "I'm 100% happy to be claimed as Scottish," Norrie added. "And the new Scottish number one? I'll take it, for sure. I'll try to hold on to that as long as I can. We'll see."

    Wawrinka 2-1 Norrie*

    Pffft. There's the power of Stan Wawrinka that Cam Norrie is going to have to deal with today. Four big serves in the game help the Swiss hold.

    When Norrie gets into the rallies he looks good but those serves were just too good.

    The players take seat for the first time at the change of ends.

    *Wawrinka 1-1 Norrie

    Three clenches of the fist and three yelps of "come on". Norrie sees off the break point and holds serve.

    Wawrinka 1-0 Norrie*

    Now Cameron Norrie steps up to serve for the first time in this match. The left-hander is dressed all in light blue, except for a darker headband to keep the sweat out of his eyes.

    These two are testing each other out, hitting from side to side, and refraining from going for too many winners.

    At 30-30 Norrie does go for a big shot but misses and is now break point down.

    Wawrinka 1-0 Norrie*

    It's a beautiful day in west London. There's hardly a cloud in the sky as the sun beams down on these two as they begin this match in front of the grand Queen's Club clubhouse.

    Stan Wawrinka's fall down the rankings has come following two knee surgeries so it will be interesting to watch his movement here.

    He starts well enough to take the opening game.

    And in fact the players have already finished with their warm-ups. Here we go.

    Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka to serve first against Britain's Cameron Norrie.

    Murray, Djokovic and Edmund have to wait until tomorrow to begin their campaigns but we have a fascinating encounter starting in the next few minutes to get our teeth into.

    It sees British number two Cameron Norrie up against three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka.

    Norrie, 22, has had an impressive year which has seen him rise to 80 in the world rankings.

    Wawrinka has had a wretched 12 months with injury and has dropped to 261 in the world.

    But Murray isn't the only big name at Queen's Club this year.

    This year's field is the strongest in the tournament's 128-year history with 15 of the world's top 30 taking part. And it gets better.

    That doesn't include Murray, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka, all of whom have dropped down the rankings this year due to injuries but are taking part this week.

    Other big names include former Queen's champions Marin Cilic and Grigor Dimitrov and past Wimbledon finalists Milos Raonic and Tomas Berdych.

    There's also a strong British contingent away from Murray, led by world number 18 Kyle Edmund plus Cameron Norrie, Dan Evans and Jay Clarke.

    After almost a year - 341 days in fact - Andy Murray is back at a tournament, ready to play competitive tennis.

    The now former British number one has not played since Wimbledon last year due to a hip injury.

    He was forced to sit out the remainder of 2017, was all-set for a comeback in January in Australia before pulling out and under going surgery on the injury.

    Now he's back and is stealing the headlines at Queen's where he has won a record five times but maintains he has "zero expectations" his time.

    Murray could hardly have been handed a tougher test on his return. He plays Australian Nick Kyrgios tomorrow.
