Now, with British No. 1 Cameron Norrie reaching his first Grand Slam semifinal on home soil, The Hill could take on a brand new name. Only this one doesn’t quite have the same ring as all the rest, according to a skeptical Norrie:
Q. Some fans have been calling The Hill “Norrie Knoll” today. How does that sound?
CAMERON NORRIE: I heard that as well. I don't even know what a knoll is (laughter). I would say it doesn't roll off the tongue as well as Henman Hill. But, yeah, I don't even know what a knoll is.
Q. You'll take it?
CAMERON NORRIE: I'll take it.
Will the new name Norrie Knoll stick? A “knoll” is a “small hill or mound” so it fits the criteria, but boy this alliteration stuff is tough. Cameron Crag? Cam’s Cliff?
The 26-year-old probably won’t care either way, as he’s through to the last four at a Grand Slam for the first time and his next opponent is none other than the three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic.
