And, in fairness, Denis Kudla has a CH of 53. Hasn't (clearly) had a good year, but still capable, one suspects, of closing out matches if given the chance.
L32: (Q) Alex Ward WR 403 defeated (WC) Ronnie Schneider (USA) WR 643 by 3 & 5

L16: Tim Smyczek (USA) WR 158 (CH = 68 in April 2015) vs (Q) Alex Ward WR 403
L16: (Q) Filip Peliwo (CAN) WR 279 (CH = 223 in April 2014) vs Liam Broady WR 170
Peliwo took out Tommy Paul (8) by 4 & 5.
L16: John-Patrick Smith (AUS) WR 217 (CH = 108 in September 2015) vs (LL) Ed Corrie WR 358
JPS removed Sandgren, the top seed, in striaght sets. I don't suppose Ed will mind too much, though, being pleased to reach the second round after getting in as a lucky loser.
No Bob, he did do that a year or so ago but earlier this year he got in at Budapest Challenger as a LL again but this time went on to crash out in the semis
I'm not at one bit surprised by these recent Norrie losses. Cam clearly has fitness issues, as he has been called out many times for taking too long between points. He needs to rest up and go gluten free over the winter, so then he can begin his assault on the top 30 next year.

Remember, when Novak went gluten free, for 2 years, he was the best tennis player in history, the level he played at was a level that Nadal and Federer never reached at their peak.

Well you have me convinced Vandy. I am going gluten free this winter so look out ATP, next year you will have a 47 year old world number 1!

Watched the later stages of Liam's match. Gutted he couldn't get the win. Those two have alot of 'previous' - I was looking over their junior history earlier.
