NOVAK DJOKOVIC and Cam Norrie are facing off in the Wimbledon semi-final for a chance to play Nick Kyrgios for the title.

He sends a backhand wide on the first but with some clever play at the net, breaks to start his maiden Grand Slam semi-final against the defending champion. Djokovic goes 15-0 up with a big serve before he and Norrie trade unforced errors. Djokovic challenges a Norrie ball which Hawk-Eye shows well inside the lines and the Brit stays alive in the game, getting to deuce. But the unforced errors are back to get Norrie leading 15-30. But Norrie issued the perfect response, breaking Djokovic's serve in the opening game. There appear to be some nerves as he hits another double fault but he takes the set with a 124mph ace. And all of a sudden, Norrie finds himself facing break point as his drop shot attempt fails to make it over the net. Another break point for Djokovic though and the No 1 seed sends it long. And the top seed holds to lead 3-2, earning more games than he did in set one. It's Norrie's turn for a questionable challenge in this set, as he questions the top seed's ace but Hawk-Eye shows it inside the line. But Norrie isn't going down without a fight, saying he could beat Djokovic "for sure" when asked. The top seed is looking to win a 21st Grand Slam title at the All England Club this week while the British No 1 is playing in his first-ever Major final.

A huge roar erupted when Norrie, who had taken just three games in their only previous meeting last year, won the first point against serve, and the British number one greeted his opening break with a leaping pump of the fist. This was therefore a huge match despite all the Serbian’s experience, and it was certainly he who seemed the more nervous in the early stages.

The British No 1 was hoping to emulate two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray but was downed by the one of Scot's great rivals.

All of a sudden there were free points that did not involve him having prize the limpet from the back of the court. Djokovic already has 20 grand slams – and counting – to his name. He is the one who looks like he has played an hour when you look like you’ve played four. And in the heat, even if Norrie was not feeling it, his opponent’s lack of disintegration must have been hard to witness. They all exchanged embarrassed, knowing looks when Djokovic broke back a game later, but Norrie’s dominance of his opponent’s serve was no one-off.

Djokovic broke for a second time as Norrie succumbed to errors and attacked chances that weren’t there, and that the Briton managed to hold at 5-1 felt like a matter of saving dignity rather than chasing victory.

But astonishingly, Norrie's heart has been recorded in this zone for almost 10 minutes. For a normal person, they'd die if their heart rate remains too high, or in the red zone for more than two minutes.

He explained that at the Battle of the Brits Norrie had been attached to a biometric device strapped across his chest. After a match against Kyle Edmund, it was found that Norrie had been in the red zone for eight minutes.
