Back to live 161. Hes got a run of Lisbon, Braga and Valencia coming up, all challengers of course, and could look to challenge his career high ranking if he keeps this form up.

And up to GB #6 ( from #10 ) as he bounds to the top of what was a quite close #6 to #13 group ). Indeed he will now be closer to #5 Dan, needing just 20 points next week to overtake him ( though that would still require Jan to reach the Lisbon Challenger SF in a pretty tough looking field ).

Just in itelf though, great week by Jan!!

If we get drawn in a clay court match in the DC for Feb, would Leon choose Jan to play? Hed have to a be a strong option.

 I was thinking the same thing! Should be above both Arthur and Billy on the dirt.

 Yes, certainly at the moment would look to be a strong candidate to be in the squad. Jack and Cam would still certainly look the best options to play if fit and well, with just this year Jack being a finalist in the Madrid 1000 and reaching the L16 at RG, and Cam reaching the SF in the Geneva 250 and the L16 at RG ).

 Agreed, Jack and Cam, if fit would still be the choice but Id have Jan on the squad for sure, on clay.

His highest ranked beaten opponent is 118 as well. This really would be massive for Jan. come on!

Come again?

He has never won someone inside the top 100? I get he is largely a Challenger player but I still find that absolutely incredible. 

When he won someone like Laslo Djere at Wimbledon I am surprised he was outside the top 100 at the time.

Is he eligible? I seem to recall that Aljaz Bedene had British nationality, but no Davis Cup eligibility.
