Yes, Cam has to go in.

One little thing though is that I believe he's 'just' equalled his CH win. He has beaten a WR 4 on at least 2 previous occasions in ATP tour matches. It is though his CH win at Masters level or above being, I think a bit surprisingly, his first top 10 win in such a tournament.

Joe equals Neals performance last week , with a Masters title. Just saying.

Just a note - we are in the last week of the PoM nominations process - much to see in US Open qualies, ATP/WTA 250 events in the States, ITF 25 events in the UK.

Remember, nominations to be in for Sunday 28th August. I will put a closing time up on the day once we know who is still playing in the US events
