Cam Norrie, Jake Fearnley, Jack Pinningtn and Reese Stalder to represent TCU in London
FORT WORTH – Nearly 5,000 miles separate the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center from the All England Club, yet the venues are linked by a connective tissue that is TCU men's tennis.
Four of the Horned Frogs' former All-American players will be in action at The Championships, Wimbledon 2026, beginning Monday in London.
Cam Norrie, Jake Fearnley and Jack Pinnington were all selected to the gentlemen's singles main draw.
Norrie earned seeded positioning for the first time since 2023. The British No. 1, Norrie enters the 128-man affair as the No. 26 seed.
Fearnley and Pinnington, who led TCU to its first NCAA championship in 2024, garnered singles wild cards.
Joining the trio across the pond is Reese Stalder, who will play doubles at SouthWest 19 for the fourth consecutive year.
All four players are featured in the top 150 of the ATP rankings ahead of tennis' most prestigious event.
The Horned Frogs' three main draw singles entries are tied with Stanford for the most of any program.
Wimbledon has unofficially become TCU's home Grand Slam. A program record five letter winners competed at The Championships in 2025 while six Frogs have made the main draw at least once since 2022.
Norrie's first round assignment is 2024 and 2025 NCAA singles champion Michael Zheng, who came through qualifying to reach his first Wimbledon main draw. His pathway through the bracket features a potential third round clash with No. 3 seed Félix Auger-Aliassime.
On the same half of the bracket as Norrie is Pinnington, who faces 28th-seeded Brandon Nakashima.
Fearnley, slotted in reigning French Open champion Alexander Zverev's quarter, draws world No. 42 Alex Michelsen in the opening round.
Norrie routinely has been standard bearer for British and college tennis at Wimbledon. He advanced to the quarterfinals for the second time in 2025. Norrie memorably reached the last four in 2022 before bowing out to 24-time Grand Slam Novak Djokovic. The semifinal run vaulted him to a career high No. 8 world ranking.
A three-time singles All-American for TCU from 2015-17, Norrie is one of only four British players to twice reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals. He sports a 15-8 career record at the tournament and is 39-31 overall in Grand Slams.
Pinnington is playing in the Wimbledon main draw for the third straight year and second on the singles side. He defeated current world No. 32 Tomás Martín Etcheverry in the opening round last year for his first career Grand Slam victory.
Fearnley has sported an all-white kit annually since 2023, when he won a main draw doubles match ahead of his senior year as a Frog. He squared off with Djokovic on Centre Court in the second round in 2024, taking a set off the seven-time Wimbledon champion just six weeks after concluding his collegiate career.
Stalder, a 2017 doubles All-American who played alongside Norrie, reached the last 16 in the discipline at the 2023 Championships.
Singles matches begin on Monday, with the opening round of doubles play set to commence on Wednesday. The tournament runs through July 12.

All Wimbledon matches will air live on ESPN and ESPN+ domestically.
