Having been moved to read this thread to catch up on Dan Cox history, I am now wondering if he still has the BMW that caused so much fuss 10 pages ago.

Lengthy interview with Dan Cox about his comeback - and other things.

 Thanks for pointing that out. I was only going to listen to part of it but found I had to listen to all of it. Can seems to be in a good place and I hope his comeback goes well.

Posted on twitter that he hit with Robin Hasse today. Appears to be training in Tenerife. Hopefully he can get his ranking back early in the new year. Bit of a challenge that, as the ITF qualifyings are stacked.

Congrats to Dan Cox, age 31, who won the Bath 25k ITF in mid-Jan and has now made a major jump in the rankings

ATP 639 (+242)

And a special mention in that we only have three male players over 30 who are currently playing singles in men's tennis - Andy, Evo and Dan.

(James Ward is still listed but has retired, and Brydan is listed but surely has retired (same for Neil Pauffley).

Our lack of over-30s in singles is scandalous (IMO) and a reflection of the lack of tennis industry in the UK.

So a big bravo to Dan. And here's hoping for a successful few years for him.

As an update from the 31 Jan post above:

Further congrats to Dan, age 31, who is now back into the top-400, at ATP 384, following his two runners-up places in the 25ks in Nottingham

(He lost both finals 5-7 in the third - that's tough to take)

But this is someone who was unranked from November 2017 to May 2021 - three and a half years - that's a LONG time out of pro-life - and he's really making a determined move to give it another shot - and is now GB 11

Well, for those of us who can't count, he's most definitely GB #11

Congrats to Dan, now age 32, who made the final of the Notts 25k last week (losing to Jules Marie in the final)

He'll be ranked about ATP 360 when those points go on

Making a great big for a Wimbly Qualis WC - which would be wonderful

Dan's a gritty guy - lot of respect for him

 That would be great if he can make it, although a Wimby qualies wild card surely would be something he could get, unless he is deemed too old??
