At his height it’s going to be very tough to break the top 100 and stay there consistently.

then why does Goffin play in top 10 all the time ?
Probably because there is a difference between tough and impossible. It is tough to be great today at a certain height, but no one said it was impossible.

How many guys are 5 foot 11 inches or shorter in Top 50 ?? I will bet there are many...

It’s possible but I think Goffin is more the exception than the norm.

I count 9 of the top 50 or 18% are under the height of 6’. The numbers don’t favor the shorter guys.

Altamirano beats Gomez to take the Long Beach futures final!
He and lebedev lose in the dubs final to the top seeded team though.
Great week for Collin nevertheless!

Clearly if you are over 6’ tall and have the talent, skills and are willing to do the hard work necessary to be a top tennis player, your chances of breaking into the top 50 are higher than if you are shorter than 6’.

That’s great! He is still listed on the UVA roster as a senior so I assumed he was still playing for the team this year.
I missed yesterday’s singles final, but I was surprised when he was very composed during his semifinal matches. In years past, he would lose his temper often. I hope he does well!

Great win for mackie. It’s still a long way to breaking into the top 20 though. Hope he makes it to the top.
No, he isn't listed on the UVa roster:

Tom Fawcett on a roll,,,,well on his way to Top 100 in ATP. he beat a tough Georgia tech player easily and moving on in Challenger qualifying.. Kei nishikori in the draw as well.

Well he’s currently ranked 824 so he just has to leapfrog 724 other players trying to break into the top 100. Yes, should be a piece of cake.

Yea,, we will really see what Norrie is made of... this is big time pressure and he really hasn't proven himself to be top 50 player yet and he is thrown into the Lion's den with Spanish Lions.

So this is big time for Mackie Macdonald. Here is what other ATP pros were saying about Mackie during Aussie open..... ATP pros and coaches that has seen Mackie practice and play matches during Aussie open were saying,"Mackie was playing like he is top 10 player in all these categories, Movement, Shot making, and Mental toughness"
WOW,, this is big time,, I really want to know what Mackie did during off season to get himself to this level....

Absolutely incredible comeback for Norrie on clay vs one of the ATP's most steady players.

Norrie is trying to prove that he belongs in top 50. but one win doesn't prove he belongs. he will have to be consistent on the tour
