Cameron Norrie kicked off his offseason with life-changing experiences.
Former world number 8 Norrie got engaged to long-time partner Louise Jacobi—and the pair celebrated their special moment on the South African safari.
Norrie, 30, who met Jacob at the 2019 US Open shortly after his 24th birthday, shared the happy news on Instagram.
“A special moment on our trip to South Africa,” Norrie posted alongside a photo of Jacobi kissing her. “Cheers to a beautiful life together with my best friend (Note: real engagement ring to come)”
It’s been a good second half of the season for Norrie, who started the season suffering first-round losses in six of his first 10 tournaments.
Norrie turned his season around by reaching the red-clay Geneva semi-finals and then exploded in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, bowing out to Carlos Alcaraz. Norrie upset Alcarazi at the Rolex Paris Masters last month and then ended his 2025 season by reaching the Metz final losing to American Learner Tien in a third-set tiebreaker.
The second half of the season soared, boosting Norrie’s ranking to 27th, putting him in position for an Australian Open, rising higher after his 2025 Melbourne first-round loss to Matteo Berrettini.
