Norrie has plenty of reason to feel positive heading into the Norway tie, with the Briton high on confidence from the last six months on tour.
After a quarter-final run at Wimbledon, Norrie also reached the Moselle Open final and says he finished the season ‘really enjoying his tennis’.
The former Indian Wells champion picked up where he left off at the start of 2026 as well. At the Australian Open he came through two fierce battles with Benjamin Bonzi and Emilio Nava, before losing a close four-set match with eventual semi-finalist at world No.4 Alexander Zverev.
Norrie has been playing some of his best tennis on the biggest stages and seems to be loving every moment of it.

“It was a nice finish to the year for me and I was enjoying my tennis so much towards the end,” he commented. “I had some really good results and I was playing so free, not thinking too much, all on instinct and it gave me a lot of confidence to know I left it all out on court. I had a well-deserved rest after that.
“There were some tough matches there (the Australian Open), tricky matches that I had to get through – but it was so fun playing in Melbourne this time of year.
“I think my match with (Alexander) Zverev was so good. He was playing really high level tennis and I was able to match him for two hours so I take a lot of confidence from that match.
“Those are the matches you want to be playing – Friday night in Melbourne against one of the best players in the world, Zverev was playing so, so well.”
While confidence is high, Norrie knows that the challenge ahead in Norway will be tough for the Lexus GB team.
This Norwegian squad boasts a former Grand Slam finalist and world No.12 Casper Ruud as well as a previous junior world No.1 and boys’ singles Wimbledon champion in Nicolai Budkov Kjaer.
The Brits will need to win this best of five match Qualifier tie to reach the second round, before hopefully going on to make the Final 8 at the end of the year.
“We’re all excited for this one. Casper (Ruud) is one of the best players in the world and especially for him to be playing at home, he’s going to be excited to play.
“Nico (Kjaer), I’ve practiced with him a lot in Monte Carlo, he’s a very good player and loves to play Davis Cup as well.
“This tie is so special to play a full strength squad from our end and their end. I know they love their tennis here in Norway so I’m excited to see the atmosphere they bring. This is what you want as a tennis fan and player.”
