Day 12: Final stop for the Norrie lorry but Djokovic still en route to the final

Jonathan Overend brings you up to date on all that happened on day 12.

On day 12 of the Championships we were treated to just one men’s semi final but there was plenty of interest with home hero Cam Norrie starting strong but ultimately succumbing to the defending champion, Novak Djokovic! Some of Novak’s superfans tell Overs what it means to them to see him play on Centre Court, and 91Èȱ¬ tennis correspondent Russell Fuller shares his thoughts on the match - until he is interrupted by a guest of the royal box who has had too many scones, that is! Wheelchair tennis player Alfie Hewett shares his delight to have come through a tough semi final in front of a record crowd, and we also hear from local lad and multiple Grand Slam champion, Andy Lapthorne, who is into the quad wheelchair doubles final for the third year in a row. With finals weekend just around the corner, former British player Laura Robson also previews the interesting match up that awaits us in the ladies singles final on day 13!
