What Cam Norrie told Nicolas Jarry in heated exchange after Wimbledon 'scrap' as BBC commentator passes verdict

Norrie and Jarry exchanged a few heated words at the net after the Brit edged a five-set thriller

Cam Norrie admits his 'vocal' nature got on Nicolas Jarry's nerves at times – as he revealed exactly what he told his rival during their heated exchange at Wimbledon.

Brit Norrie won a thriller against the big Chilean, cruising through the first two sets before Jarry battled back and forced a decider.

The former world No.8 did the business in the final set, edging it 6-3, but there was no love lost between the pair after Norrie advanced to the last eight for the second time in his career.

During the second set, Jarry was heard complaining to the umpire about Norrie's service motion, but he was told nothing his opponent was doing was in breach of the rules.

The two powered on and there were a few spiky moments – and no shortage of furious return serves.

After Norrie finally claimed the match point, he collapsed to the deck in celebration before approaching the net to shake Jarry's hand.

But his opponent took his time in coming over, before engaging him in a brief heated debate.

Commentator Simon Reed, describing the incident, said: "Respect, but not a lot of love between the two of them. He's not doing himself any favours here, Jarry, which is a shame because he's played his part in a truly magnificent scrap."

There was a smattering of boos around the arena, seemingly aimed at the Chilean's antics, but Norrie was smiling when he spoke to the BBC after the match.

Asked what Jarry's issue with him was, Norrie said: "You could see I was a little bit vocal, that's my energy. I just said 'man, you competed so well, you hung in so well.' It was an amazing, competitive match and I loved it."

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, commentator Jonathan Overend said: "Jarry is in no rush to shake hands with Norrie. They exchange some words - it looks like they are having a real disagreement at the net. This is slightly unsavoury at the end of the match and that is a real shame.

"But whatever the problem was, it seems to have been ironed out eventually and Court One rises to applaud the Chilean qualifier, with Norrie joining the thousands of fans who have witnessed a Wimbledon classic."
