I think come Wimbledon and the hard court Slams, he may prove to have got himself closer to the top 2 than even he suggests.

Here's hoping ....

This is Hannah Klugman's interview on Tennis Channel

Mentioned here because Jack Draper really deserves a shout-out

Hannah was asked if Jack or Emma have been helpful to her, reached out

And she said that Jack has been great, they had lunch, he's spoken to her about how tough it is sometimes, about the struggles he's had, about the struggles she was having last year

And said that if ever ever she needs to, just to call him

As Prakash says: Jack, you're a top guy

 It's only the entry list - and it hasn't got to the deadline yet

so it's not definitive - although Jack and Qinwen's singles rankings must put them right up there on the list

I was just reading CD's story on the play off thread, and was wondering how close Jack and his dad are.
I remember at some point they were kind of estranged, is that still the case?

You never see or hear anything of his dad. You only ever see his mum in the stands supporting him and sometimes his brother Ben.

 Thanks, I remember something going on, but the search facility on the site still seems down, so couldn't find anything.

According to Jack's X feed he picked up a left arm injury after Wimbledon and will be missing Toronto and Cincy and not back in action until the US Open.

Not good news....bleh

 Thats a shame; long career ahead though and maybe the rest will do him some good.

After Wimbledon not during Wimbledon is interesting. And he may be looking for a US Open mixed doubles partner too as Zheng has had elbow surgery.
