27-1 overall! Cam Norrie will have a ton of support on Centre Court, but IDK if that's gonna be enough to carry him in this match. Djokovic has been there and done that many times. He's also very good at winning the first set and taking the crowd out of it fairly early on. On those rare occasions where he does drop the first set, he dominates the 2nd set and tempers the crowd's hopes.

I will acknowledge that Norrie is better than most of the players cited in these examples, but it will still be a very difficult task.
 
Whats a home slam?

Team sports have parity so 'home' and 'away' support can be the edge.

No amount of crowd support is going to turn a journeyman ATP player into a slam contender.
 
Only home player who Novak couldn't defeat at home. Only player who beat Novak after he levelled a 0-2 deficit to force the fifth set.
