I thought Luke played a decent match there. One of the better ones of his that I've seen.

Definitely certain things to work on (do it, Luke!) but good to see.....

Good luck in the doubles now.

Spectator · All-time great

Quiroz is a tough match-up - glad to hear that it looked like a good match!

Clearly not such a prat after all, more's the pity! hmm

L32: Cam Norrie WR 297 defeated (5) Ernesto Escobedo (USA) WR 175 by 7-6(4) 1-0 retired biggrin

Pity it had to be through retirement (hope Escobedo's problem isn't serious), but a win's a win...

Moves Cam level on ranking points ( 180 ) with Liam. I believe the tiebreaker ( # of tournaments ) should have him ahead as GB #6.

Would need to reach the final here to take over from James as GB #5 on rankings. Though already in practice he must be one of our current top 5 players.

( Lloyd starting the week 5 points behind Cam and now 12 behind Cam and Liam could get in the mix too ).

The victors are an established dubs team from Ohio State

Somehow, I thought someone on here was going to tell me something like that! hmm

Yes, given that neither of them has any points from slams or Master events, the tiebreak you mentioned is the only one that matters.

Cam is certainly GB no. 5 in terms of year to date points - even more impressive given that he hardly played any ATP-ranked events before July!

YTD (Actual*) Name YTD Points

5 (6) Cam 150

6 (7) Liam 137

7 (9) Ed 135

8= (8) Lloyd 106

8= (10) Alex 106

10 (5) James 91

Gb no. 4 Aljaz (YTD points = 575) is well out of reach of those at the top of the list, while only Brit below these players with over 50 YTD points is Brydan with 73.

* based on live rankings

I believe Marcus collected 70 points from one tournament earlier this year

Total YTD = 72

Oops, so far down the list now that I missed him. disbelief No, even that's not an excuse (and it's hard to forget those 70 points anyway!) - he's only 2 places below Brydan. Maybe the fact that Luke in between them only has 17 YTD points threw me into not looking any further.
