I can use it to my advantage and I’ll take it.” I’m still young on tour and I’ve got a lot of experience already, but I’ve still got a lot of things I want to work on and improve.” “He’s following everything. But few can match him for his fighting ability. “So he was always around tennis. He’s still playing at Bucklands Beach and he loves it. “I did the same here, they really helped me through it. “I’m trying to improve in all areas of my game all of the time and I would say I’m a pretty competitive person in general,” he said. Norrie’s dad, David has become a common face around the Auckland tennis scene. New Zealanders have cheered on Norrie, regardless of what flag design he has next to his name.
