So Cam is now live ranked 10 as FW predicted

And With a decent gap to 11 he should keep it.

Paul Jubb is also live ranked at 288, with Kyle at 287, same points. 1 point for Paul and he will go into GB 7.

Cam reaching the top 10 means he is the first man to do it from the year 1995

Cameron giving a lot of praise to stability, his Argentinian coach, and keeping the same team:

"Norrie is renowned in the locker room for his physicality, but he believes the stability in his support team has been the key factor behind his rise. Since 2017, he has worked with the Argentine coach Facundo Lugones, who has ensured that attention has been paid to every detail on and off the court.

Im not really like an English football club which takes a couple of losses and fires the coach, Norrie said. Its been a great journey so far with my team. We all have the same mindset, are all very accountable to one another and hold each other to a high level of professionalism. Everyone is taking care of their departments in the team and it is showing. I can go out, play and just take care of myself on the court."

Aberdaberdonian · Club Coach

So some end of Q1 analysis for Cameron For the same number of tournaments, he has more than doubled his points. He's got to be happy with that smile

As things stand, with Zverev joining Medvedev and Rublev as out of Wimbledon, Cam will be seeded 8!

Now there is a thing !

Cam is the first player to be signed up for the only main tennis tournament in New Zealand (I don't even think there are ITF's or challengers here) as a pre-AO warm up.

Strongbow · All-time great

At one time NZL had 10 ranked players and were in the mens strongest nation. There certainly used to be a WTA event (Aukland ?) in the run up to the Aussie open.

Hope you are OK.

The WTA version is also running next year. It hasn't run since 2020, our borders were still closed at the start of 2022 (and aren't fully open until the end of July).

NZL had as many players as all that? Did not know this.

Alas, although I am a member on the ground, I am unlikely to be able to attend the event in 2023 for family reasons. Maybe in 2024!

Mentioned at Wimbly, I think, that Rhett Purcell is one of Cameron's best mate, if not 'the' best mate, and had flown into London to see his match and support him

Rhett, people will remember, did a 'Cameron in reverse' - in tennis terms, he was a Brit and then switched to New Zealand

I have only just realised, the ATP season only has 6 more regular weeks left in it and then a week off before Turin.

Cam talks on the BBC that he will be making a push for those finals - he is playing 5 weeks of the 6 and I suspect we will see Dan do similar.

Cam's schedule is Seoul, Tokyo (500), week off then Stockholm, Vienna (500) Paris (1000)

Dan is playing Seoul, Tokyo (500) , week off then Antwerp , Vienna or Basle (500) and Paris (1000)

Andy is not playing this week, then Astana (500), week off, Antwerp, Vienna or Basle (500) and Paris (1000)

Jack is ill this week and then plans on Astana (500), week off, Antwerp, Vienna or Basle (500) and Paris (1000)

I guess their aims are respectively:

Cam - reach Turin and stay in top 8
Dan - get to the top 20 (16?)
Andy - top 32?
Jack - top 32?

Should be an interesting few weeks.
