Cameron Norrie given grim prediction ahead of Carlos Alcaraz clash at Wimbledon

Tim Henman reckons Cam Norrie is a 100-1 shot to stun Carlos Alcaraz today. And the former British No.1 reckons the Spanish superstar would even beat the world No.61 on the golf course.

BBC analyst Henman was the last British player to dethrone a reigning Wimbledon champion when he knocked out Richard Krajicek in 1997.

But French Open champion Alcaraz is on an 18-match winning streak in pursuit of his third consecutive title here. And Henman said: "I just think it's a difficult match up. How does he beat him? In normal circumstances you would say try and shorten the points, but that isn't the Norrie style. Does he want to extend the points? Against Alcaraz that is difficult. He's got to serve very well.

"He's got to extend the rallies at times. He's got to take risks from the back of the court. He's got to keep flattening out that backhand, which is effective on grass. And he's probably got to hope that Alcaraz has a bad day. I think that's the reality.

"Anyone's beatable. If they played 100 times, can Norrie win one? Maybe. It's unlikely. But it's sport. There are no scripts. And I know Cam well, he's a great competitor. He gets absolutely everything out of his game. He's got to believe he can do it. But if they played 100 times, he probably can win once. So let's hope it's tomorrow."

Alcaraz has been relaxing between rounds at Wimbledon by playing golf, including against Andy Murray. The Spaniard is an 11-handicapper while Norrie plays off 13.

So would the world No.61 have a better chance against the world No.2 on the fairways.

"His golf is pretty good, I think I'd back Alcaraz on the golf courses as well," said golf addict Henman. "I'm normally an optimist. I'm normally pretty positive but he's up against it."
