It is a big step up. Your easy games are the equivalent of the final rounds of a futures. It is great that he has made the step up at 18 but I agree the intensity will take some getting use to.
In terms of the ranking of the player he lost to it's not really a step up, it could just as easily have been a R1 opponent in a Futures. Agree that it will take time to step up to the level of Challengers as a whole though.
