SLOVENIA’S No.9

-

IT’S hard to keep up with Aljaz Bedene and which country he is backing at times.

On court he has switched back to representi­ng Slovenia again but his inspiratio­n for his win against Cameron Norrie was one of Britain’s finest footballer­s.

And he wore his shirt in practice yesterday to prove it. The former British No.2 said: “I actually thought of Harry Kane when he gets bad calls and he’s still focused. “I’m a big fan of his. He’s the type of player who just sticks to what he knows best. He doesn’t go against the referees. He accepts the mistakes. “Against Tunisia he was pulled down and he stayed calm. I would freak out, because it was an important moment.” JAY CLARKE showed his bottle – by stopping Ernests Gulbis taking a sip from his.

The Latvian went for the Brit’s bag and water during a first set mix-up over seats.

Clarke, may have lost their first-round match, but wasn’t giving up his drink and told Gulbis where to go, much to the amusement of the Court 18 crowd.
