I see that Jack Sock got the better of Maxime Cressy in four:  6-4 6-4 3-6 7-6(1).


 that was good to see. It looked like Cressy was fighting back.

Crazy that a deeply misguided ATP decision on a wing and a prayer is going to cost Liam taking out his career high ranking and possibly even a shot at making the top 100 here and now.

*Disclaimer: I know many readers of this forum certainly, and possibly some posters too, only really have regard to their own or others personal ELO ranking systems when deciding if they consider someone 'top 100' etc, and Liam's already comfortably made top 100 in many of those ranking systems (often peaking around Phoenix Challenger time). However, for purposes of this post I think the ATP rankings are still widely considered the hallmark of attaining top 100 status IMO.

 As we stand just now, whatever folk think of the ranking points decision, the live-tennis and OER live info indicates that simply adding in the normal 90 R3 points would not yet have quite taken Liam to a new CH.

Similarly adding in R3 points for Galan and Humbert would have left Liam at 'live' 117 on 489 points as against his CH 116.

Cam two sets ahead now and really in charge. Not sure if Johnson has blisters on his hand?

Liam opens versus AdM on court one tomorrow. That court also has Swiatek and then Tsitsipas v Kyrgios

It's great that Cam's form seems to be improving as the fortnight goes on. This is just the way to do it.

I haven't read all the way through this thread and am a bit behind on my Cam stats, but is this the furthest he has ever been in a Slam ?

Wonderful display from Cam and finally a 4th round in a slam.
Absolutely deserved and what chances lie ahead in week 2.

'Norrie looks ready to break through'

Pat Cash

Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 Live [quoted on the Beeb's live Wimbeldon commentary]

Cam Norrie will play American Tommy Paul in the fourth round.

Tommy Paul's an explosive player, similar in a lot of ways to Cam. He's quick around the court, thumps a lot of winners.

It'll be a big challenge for Cam but he's obviously in good form. There are some interesting draws out there, so there are great opportunities for players to break through at the biggest Grand Slam there is and Norrie looks ready.

He's played the biggest players over the last 18 months and he's been beating them.
