It's fun to see Jack still technically in with a shout at reaching the tour finals going into Paris! (See live-tennis.eu/en/atp-race He's the lowest one without a cross next to his name). He was the lowest ranked player still in with a shot last week and only kept his hopes alive by winning the title I think. Looking at the numbers he'd probably need to win Paris and hope others around 8th place lose very early so super unlikely and he'd be pretty spent already when he got there if he made it but I guess he's in form at least. Not checked his draw for Paris yet as I post either.
He plays Lehecka later today; to make it harder, hed need to win Paris, take a wild card for Metz or Belgrade and win there also, hoping other results go his way! Hed enter Turin on a 15 match winning streak!
Exciting news as it looks like Draper is going to be training with Alcaraz in the off season in Spain. Jack's coach Trotman says 'It's incredibly important to spend time with the best players, experience that on a daily basis."
Interesting that the 3 back to back loses in spring were defining. The fact it took those losses to change Jack's mindset to a more offensive front-foot approach is interesting!
