MORE TO CAM

Norrie beaten by Zverev but insists he'll continue with new high-risk, easy-on-the-eye approach

CAMERON NORRIE staying in the Australian Open longer than any home player was not the only consolation for British tennis fans.

The former Wimbledon semi-finalist has also gone from baseline grinder to adventurous attacker in the first Grand Slam of the season.

And after returning to the world's top 20, the British No.1 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 Alex Zverev.

He twice battled back from a set down before losing 7-5 3-6 6-3 4-6 7-6 in four hours and five minutes the longest match of his career.
