Lordy, precocious kids, don't you just hate 'em smile

OK, Jack, enough of 15ks, time to leave them to the others, share your toys and all that ....

Seriously, what a super couple of weeks. Well done that young man....

6-3 6-2

Super by Jack

The returning Brydan Klein ( Australia 25K finalist ) will take up what was Ed Corrie's place in the GB top 10 ( the also retired Alex Ward will drop out of the top 10 by the year end ).

Then on Monday week we will have :

11. Harris 45
12. Gray 44
13. Draper 43 - at around WR 620

Nix · Futures qualifying

I notice Jack withdrew from Barnstable last month, any ideas why? School, scheduling? I take it he's not turned pro yet?

Brilliant even Andy was 17 when he won his first back to back Futures.

The following two weeks after that. He is playing 25ks in Nigeria so I guess its a travel/rest week.

Extremely impressive. If he keeps this up, who knows where he'll be in a year's time. Such a big game for a 16 year old!

Fab!

What a great summer for Jack kick started by the Wimbledon Qualys wildcard, at this rate he wont need one next year!

I wonder whether scroll free Bob will get to see him in Murcia in the spring, that early Spanish futures swing being a testing run of futures and good practice for the RG juniors, he is at a very similar level to Kyle in terms of development relative to junior year (although chronologically almost 12 months younger). Clay would appear to be the surface on which he is yet to test himself extensively although nice run in Slovakia and his game suits it.

I wonder whether he will bin the Australian juniors to get more grounding on clay hopefully getting into some of the weaker European clay challengers in the spring. U.K. grass court with MD WC (that will upset the usual dissenters) followed by US hard court junior open prep and then west coast challenger swing. We will see very soon exciting times!!!

Very impressive from Jack
