They were two unforgettable weeks that became a turning point in his career, but the repercussions on the ranking ATP they are non-existent.

Media exposure after being a semi-finalist at Wimbledon 2022
“I have completely lost my anonymity, now people recognize me on the street, they congratulate me, and even something else. In several establishments they have insisted on inviting me to coffee, and even when I went to the dry cleaner, they did not want to charge me as thanks for what I made them enjoy during the tournament. The people are very kind, it is incredible to receive so much love and recognition, but that will not change me. I still have a lot of ambition and I am working very hard in recent weeks to be a better tennis player “said a player who traveled to Nice just a few days after finishing his participation in the British Grand Slam, to train with the number 1 in the world.
What does it mean for him to train alongside Daniil Medvedev
“The truth is that I didn’t want to tell him anything about Wimbledon, I know it’s a sensitive issue for him because of what happened. He did congratulate me and told me that he had seen the match against Novak. The truth is that Daniil is a great guy and, I must say, that he is my favorite player at the moment. My coach has spent many years trying to organize training blocks for me with the best players in the world and it has been very difficult, but I see that now that I am in a better position, It may be easier to share the court with the best to continue evolving.”It gives me a lot of confidence to know that I can go far in a Grand Slam, I think my best performance is yet to come,” said a player who will start his tour at the ATP 250 Los Cabos 2022, where he defends the title.
Consequences of not receiving ATP points at Wimbledon 2022
If the tournament had been normal in that sense, Cameron Norrie would have broken into the top-10 of the ATP ranking, while now he is in 12th place. “It’s quite frustrating, but I can’t do anything. I like to think that it doesn’t change me too much because I’m still ranked well and I’m seeded in most events, but obviously it’s embarrassing not to have received points. There are other players who, in case points had been distributed, they would have given an enormous qualitative jump”, affirmed the Briton.
