Great win for Cam

Just to correct Jasika's ranking and add a bit more info.

QR2: Cameron Norrie WR 977 v Omar Jasika (AUS) WR 1050 (CH 1049 in Oct)

Jasika is 16 and world junior no. 24. Cam's head to head against him is 1-3 (all in juniors!) but he won their last meeting (in Malaysia) with a double bagel! In fact, he had lost 5 & 4 to him in a final in Thailand a week earlier, which tends to suggest the double bagel was a bit of a freak result, so this match could be a lot harder than it first appears.

RJA · Hall of fame

Jasika reached Junior No 21 last March at the age of just 15 and would probably be a bit higher than that now but only played 2 junior events in the second half of last year.

I'll forgive myself this one. After all, if was about 3am here and I'm definitely not a night owl.

Thanks for putting me right.
