Agreed, glutan free Cam will be able to push top 30 based on that match level.

The equivalent word in Nordic has a heavy A so always in my head say it with a A in English.

Pity Joe & Ruan couldn't win the final but at least Joe can tick off top 100 ( even if for now just a one week stay ).

Big 2018 I feel for him to really continue to push on, hopefully in a settled partnership, and to maybe increasingly look like the heir apparent GB #1, though Jamie may fancy being around for quite a few more years yet.

I'm sure Neal and Dom will have something to say about that....

indiana · Tennis legend

I'm sure. Joe has been the more upwardly mobile rankings-wise though. Be interesting to see how they all get on in 2018.

To be honest, I was forgetting that Jamie is still 'only' 31 so indeed a position that may not be vacated for many years yet.

For now, the 20/11/17 rankings are out. And not just a CH 99 for Joe but a CH 67 for Neal ( though Neal was as high as WR 69 more than 3 years ago ). Well done, both.

I'd never rule out either Skupski - and one tends to forget how young Neal Skupski is. But when I've seen him play, I've thought that he's not only done well but could go a long, long way.
