Last Brit standing Cameron Norrie will have to produce a stunning turnaround to stay in Wimbledon after losing the first set of his quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz after just 28 minutes on Centre Court.

Norrie is Britain's last hope of Wimbledon success in the men's or women's singles after Jack Draper suffered a shock exit to Marin Cilic in the second round and Emma Raducanu was beaten by top seed Aryna Sabalenka on Friday.

The 29-year-old, who has been as high as world No 8 but came into this year's Championships with a ranking of 61, won a five-set thriller over Nicolas Jarry on Monday to book a tantalising quarter-final against Alcaraz to keep hope of a Brit triumphing at Wimbledon alive.

Arsenal and England footballer Bukayo Saka was among those cheering on Norrie on Centre Court, while hundreds of fans flocked to Wimbledon's famous Henman Hill to support the Brit. 

Norrie edged through his first service game before quickly finding himself 4-1 behind in the first set - ultimately losing it 6-2 against the Spaniard.

Alcaraz, Wimbledon's reigning champion, has been tested frequently throughout this year's Championships, having been taken to five sets on the opening day by Fabio Fognini in the first round. 

After cruising past Britain's Oliver Tarvet, he endured tougher tests against Jan-Lennard Struff and Andrey Rublev before reaching the quarter-final against Norrie. 

More to follow.
