During his early teens Camden competed as a top-level amateur, winning such tournaments as the US Amateur and the Tuxedo Gold Racquet. Camden also played for the United States on the Bathurst Cup Team. In May 2005, at age 17, Camden moved to the UK and turned professional, working at Hampton Court Palace under Chris Ronaldson. After a year in the UK, Camden returned to the US because of some family issues and became a touring professional. The last few years have been a constant progression for Camden, winning many tournaments and challenging for the 2008 World Championship, where he was narrowly defeated by Rob Fahey 7 sets to 5. All this work has made Camden the #1 player in the world. In September 2008 Camden joined the team at the Tennis and Racquet Club, Boston, as a real tennis, racquets, and squash professional. In November 2011, Camden returned to being a touring professional. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Profile )〕 As of September 1, 2013, Camden Riviere is the Number 1 ranked player in the world.
