Wimbledon 2022 Day 12 saw a lot of heartbreaks and happiness in many ways. Cameron Norrie is finally out of the tournament. He was the only British player left in the tournament and carried the flag since the third round, alone. He lost in a four-set match to Novak Djokovic, who is now one step away from his eighth Wimbledon title. As much as it breaks the heart of the host audience, a lot of credit should be given to what Cameron Norrie has achieved. He made history by reaching the semi-finals of a grand slam for the first time. Not only this, the focus was on other players like Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu. Then also he represented his country with great pride and we all think he made them proud.
Congratulations to Novak Djokovic for reaching another final. He defeated Cameron Norrie in four sets after losing the first set again. Then he made a scintillating comeback, not giving any chance to Norrie as he looked running out of options. Now he faces Nick Kyrgios in the final, who got a walkover because Nadal withdrew from the tournament. This gives Novak a nice opportunity to win another grand slam and come one slam closer to Rafa’s tally of 22. On the other hand, it is the perfect opportunity for Nick to create history, as he looks super focused for a long time. This is his first chance to win a grand slam tournament.

There was not a lot Norrie could do even though he tried his best. He lost the remaining sets as well and Novak won the game in four. The final score was 6-2 3-6 2-6 4-6.
