L32: Cameron Norrie WR 640 (CH = 637 in June 2014) vs (SE) Paul Oosterbaan (USA) UNR

Spectator · All-time great

I know that the US summer futures are often a minefield of underranked players, but even by their standards, this one has a huge number of traps. Mr Norrie is one, but he is far from alone.

L16: Felix Corwin (USA) WR 1388 (CH = 1384 last September) vs Cameron Norrie WR 640

Corwin, who's 20, took out the fourth seed, Darian King, in three sets in his first-round match. I presume he's yet another off the college kid production line.

Good stuff.

And Cam's now 71 points may well sneak him into the top 500 on Monday week, helped on tiebreaker if 71 points remains at the dividing line by having played relatively few tournaments Winning his QF would certainly make sure.

A rematch of the L16 encounter last week in the QF this week - & we all know what happened last week ( wink ):

QF: Cameron Norrie WR 640 vs (8) Clay Thompson (USA) WR 450 (CH = 408 last month)

I am backing Cam to add another win and remove any doubt from the equation. Add that to Marcus' success and things are looking up in the Top 500 stakes.

Must be that guy who pointed out that the GB women were apparently on the verge of overtaking the men for top 500ers that inspired them

I have to say all of the top 4 at the moment in the college rankings will all be fantastic players going forward. That Torpegaard of Denmark is superb especially, in my opinion.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Cam wins the whole thing again, even with Paul in his side of the draw.

How long does Cam still have at college? He seems more than ready to give the tour a full go. Or do others think that he'd be better equipped developing for a bit longer with the odd forray into the tour?
