Sometimes fate makes a bad joke, and that`s what Jack Sock came up with this week. After winning the Masters in Paris two years ago, becoming 8 in the world and qualifying for the ATP finals, the American is already at the bottom of tennis and will be without official rankings by Monday.
Yesterday, the former US First Rocket recorded his seventh single loss of the season, his only win at the Laver Cup demo.
Juice was lagging behind with set against World No. 449 Michael Pervolarakis when he felt back pain and had to give up 6-7 (7) 0-1.
This is undoubtedly one of the most unexpected stories in tennis. At the end of 2017, Jack touched the top of the tennis, secured a place among the elite and impressed with his game. There was a trauma to the thumb and a lot of extra weight gained, and his focus was increasingly on couples who did not need the same level of physical fitness.
Let`s recall what he`s capable of in his good days with some of the mo st impressive career plays:
With his fine sense of ball and perfect willpower, Juice remains one of the best in the tandem, but will have to start his career on a single from scratch.
The free fall of the former 8 has been going on for two years and today it has reached its lowest possible point in tennis. From here on, the road is just up.
