Jack Sock is winning matches again. Earlier this year, Sock had dropped out of the ATP rankings altogether after a string injuries and poor form. He is currently ranked 768 in the world. He reached a career high ranking of 8 in 2017.

Sock is currently playing at the Oracle Challenger Series at Indian wells.  Wild cards to Indian Wells main draw (Masters tournament) are awarded to the top two players with the highest number of points in the series.

In the first round, Sock beat Japanese player Kaichi Uchida.  In the next round, Sock had a good win over Ugo Humbert, beating the Frenchman 7-6(5) and 6-4. Humbert is currently ranked 42 in the world in singles.

It’s good to see Sock put together a couple of wins.  Hopefully, he can maintain his form, and build confidence as the year goes on.

If you were looking for the NextGen tennis players to break through, the results this week will make you very depressed.
