Cameron Norrie is considered by many to be one of the most talented players with the potential to become a top 10 player. The Briton was actually already a top 10 player, but his slightly poorer performances resulting in a drop to 91st place.
He later picked up the pace, showed his quality at Wimbledon, as well as in the final of the tournament in Metz. The Briton can be satisfied considering that he finished the season as the 27th player in the world.
However, many often dispute his performances. There is an opinion that Cameron Norrie is a good tennis player, but that his game is considered the ugliest in all of tennis.
The British tennis player was a guest on the Nothing Major podcast, reacting to such labels.

The 30-year-old didn't worry too much about those labels, even agreeing with some of the criticisms that come in from day to day. However, the most important thing for him is to win and move up the ATP list, regardless of whether people approve of his style of play or not. If the game brings him results, he will certainly keep that style and push it while bringing him positive results.
I think on the backhand, yes, said Norrie. But I think I am starting to not bunt it as much. I still bunt it a lot but I think purely on the backhand, I would say a little bit unorthodox.
Analysis and goals for the next season
Although Norries game may not be the most popular, it has enabled him to win five ATP titles and reach a career-high ranking of world number eight.

Cameron Norrie will deeply analyze his season, understand where he made mistakes, and set goals for the next season during the break. Whether he will eventually return to the top 10 is difficult to say precisely, but his ambitions should not be doubted, given that he has shown many times so far how motivated and dedicated he is to his game.
