I remember a recent debate about whether 140 as a year end ranking was an overly optimistic prediction for Jack..... I would say most definitely not now!

Well done Jack , marvellous performance !

Mervatron2 · Challenger qualifying

Wow. Impressive.

I wonder is Jack has any WCs for Indian Wells or Miami ?

The Knight · Challenger qualifying

162 and playing significantly above that really

For a final, that was a cruise in the park.
Got to put back to back performances now

Jan · Hall of fame

Fabulous!!

Looks like he's up to 162.

There's also a few players in the 100-200 mark that are dropping substantial points this week, which means they'll be in range if he manages to do well next week as well.

Hes already won two Challengers here . Getting a few wins would be great but the draw is pretty strong next week . Players like Machac are in it . Cant see Jack winning this week .

Hopefully he starts playing some tour qualifying events now .

I think he merits a few wildcards now . Shame he wont likely get any until the grass season .

Although someone mentioned he got an IW wildcard or was it Miami last year? Linked to his management company?

Yes he got a MD wild card for Miami last year and took Kukushkin to 6-6 before collapsing due not preparing properly for the heat or something. Apparently that was due to his agent being involved in running the tournament or something

He definitely got a WC of some sort at either Miami or IW last year.

As above, wasn't it quite soon after that that he tested positive or am I confusing him with someone else

Eta again he had covid January and there was a view that it was that that caused his problem in Miami

Cool, GBJ and Emmsie - you'd hope that those links would work for him now as well, maybe a wild card for qualies at IW and Miami perhaps? He hasnt got anything showing on his schedule after this week in Forli, so may well be planning a trip out to the States for those?

Well Holger Rune got about a billion WCs so you'd hope Jack could get 1.
