With several players putting in decent results, and with Evo set to drop out the top 100, we must ask the question, which player will be next to enter the top 100 or re-enter the top 100 in Evo and Ward's cases.

Without a doubt Norrie

Norrie but I certainly hope Broady won't be far behind and after the last few weeks I am starting to believe that is a real possibility again after a fairly lousy couple of years.

Vandy, I thought your prediction was that Glasspool would be on the entry list for Love Island 2018? :P

skibbarriz · Strong Club Player

Cam for sure. And if Liam makes top 100 that'll be a fantastic development in his career.

Ward, never again. Climbing up there has only got tougher in the last several years.
Klien, never.
Glasspool, never.

Evo, he will at some point.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Cam is the obvious candidate here, but I will stick my neck out and say that maybe you should add the name Golding to the list.

depends which Ward you mean - Alex is capable if he can stay injury free

Jiwan · Club Coach

Cam is a cert! huge fans of Mr Golding and Broady so i'm chuffed to see them doing well. Depends on a whole host of factors for both. I doubt Evans will come back and JWard will retire soon (I hope not). Award has so much potential but his body will keep breaking down. Clarke should be on the list somewhere

Yes not quite sure how Lloyd found himself on the list with Jay not. But no matter, Jay I see getting there but I certainly take Cam to be first.

I did see a bold prediction somewhere else for Liam to beat Cam to the top 100 but maybe that poster has not voted yet. Certainly I don't at all discount Liam from making the top 100, just not first.

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Re Liam having already made it to a career high of 156? And seemingly on his second run up this part of the rankings at only 23, he must have a good shout of making it. Especially as the average age of the top 100 is about 28.

Hahaha, best post ever, wish that was my material! He looks like the love island type.

A rare show of forum unanimity at the time of writing! No pressure Cam, no pressure ... LOL

I was thinking that too but doesn't that bold predictor tend to vary his predictions by thread (or even by page within a thread) so that he can always find a source that proves he was right?

I would be very surprised if he did not. I don't know the circumstances but factoring in his apparent willingness to own up, his contrition, the fact it was not a PED and the Richard Gasquet example I am hoping for a ban of no more than a year and maybe less. If he can get back on the tour before all his points drop off then provided he has stayed in shape I believe he could rise up the rankings pretty swiftly again and will hopefully be motivated to prove once and for all that he belongs at the top. He has top 20 potential if he applies himself and with the rewards on offer I am sure he will try to get there.
