Going very well for Jack after a seemingly slowish initial transition to senior ITFs.

His latest title looks likely to take him up into the 650s in the rankings and into the U19 top 10.

Noticed Jack is entered in a few challengers. Way down on the alt list but lots of ambition which I love to see

Is he injured? I haven't seen him anywhere on grass yet.

Was just wondering this, assuming so if he isn't even popping up elsewhere

He was playing on clay in Italy a few weeks ago - lost in qualifying in week 20 challenger

LordBrownof · Futures level

Yes, but no show on grass.

Pretty sure he must be injured otherwise he would've almost certainly got a qWC.

Latest news on twitter is that he has signed to TCU Mens team for fall 2022.
He was signed up to Andy Murray's 77 Sports Management company last year so unsure what that means for his NCAA eligibility , but they tend to sort these things out anyway.

NIL rights issues have caused a huge upheaval in US colleges, and as a result pretty much all their student athletes now have agents.

Pretty sure NCAA athletes are now allowed endorsement deals etc.. So being part of an agency shouldn't be a problem. Taking too much prize money would.
I think it depends on a state to state situation though. But I know one of the Miami colleges anyone on the football roster got an endorsement form a local gym worth $500 dollars a month.
