What did you think of Emile, out of interest, CD? What would you say his potential ranking ceilings are likely to be in both singles and doubles?

 I've never really been a fan of Emile's tennis, alex - he had a weird, rather clunky action when he was younger and I never really favoured him  

Not that that's saying anything, I could be well wrong 

But it means I never really follow him or chose to watch his matches so, tbh, I'm not that up-to-date - indeed, I remember watching 5 mins a year or so ago and thinking his technique was a fair bit better.

NB I generally believe that pretty much any tennis player can get up to WR 500, or so, if they continue full-time. I don't mean they all will, of course, but that any faintly decent guy at 18 can get there if they play fulltime, with funds to cover training and travel, and no bad injuries, and maybe a touch of good fortune round the edges. 

So, tbh, I don't have any views worth noting about Emile and someone else may be able to help better?

Sorry
