QF: (Q) Roan Jones WR 1981 defeated (WC/8) Alaa Trifi (TUN) WR 869 by 7-6(6) 6-2
I know nothing about 22 yo Roan and his official 13/07 ranking is indeed WR 1981 on 1 point, with a CH 1967.
BuI I had noticed him recently winning quite a few qualifying matches, then last week in Tunisia he came through qualifying and reached the QF for 2 points, taking him currently to live ranked 1612 on 3 points for 20/07.
Now here he has again come through qualifying and getting better again, reaching the SF for a further 4 points, and beating the 2nd and 8th seeds, WRs 549 and 869 respectively. This will so far take him up to 7 points at 27/07 and a projected ranking in the 1300s.

Anyone know rather more about him?
For what it's worth, Lambda had him in a list in May last year:
Roan Jones (Alabama, junior) played at No 2
I was disappointed when I did the usual check after Monday's results to find that his ranking had dropped back from 1967 to 1981.

Looks like Roan is doing his senior year at North Carolina (Toby Samuel's alma mater)
