CAMERON NORRIE claimed the best is yet to come as he vowed to take his new attacking style to Wimbledon.
The British No.1 lost in five high-quality sets to Alex Zverev to exit the Australian Open in the fourth round.
But after pushing the world No.6 all the way, Norrie insisted he plans to stick with the front foot tactics.
He said: “I can aim to get even better for Wimbledon. There’s still lots to come.
“I’m still 28 years old. I just want to keep learning and keep pushing and keep improving. I know I’ve got the top 10 level in me.”
The former Wimbledon semi-finalist has gone from a baseline grinder to adventurous attacker in the first Grand Slam of the season.
And after returning to the world’s top 20, Norrie, whose father is from Glasgow, now wants to keep going forward on the court and up in the rankings.
Norrie daubed white sunblock across his face like war paint and put up a great fourth-round fight against Olympic champion Zverev.
