How come Jack doesn't have a 'protected' ranking?

 Don't you have to be out for 6 months continuously to have one? Was he out that long?

Not sure....

And PaulM's answer is far better

 I think because he played DC and Dubai (both in Feb) he just missed out on PR as he didn't play after USO.

 He played in Barcelona in April, and Indian Wells and Miami in March

 Yes, but those were after so wouldn't affect the 6 months or near 6 months that Blue_Belle is talking about

 Correct. He played in Feb so didn't qualify for the PR from USO to Feb period as it was too short. He then further played in March and April and now in June so unless he stops playing for the rest of the year as from today, still won't get a PR, unless he plays in January. Since PR is a continous 6 months or more out period to qualify for it.
