Sock In Midst Of Career Resurgence
Jack Sock was once ranked in the top ten in the world, being ranked number eight on the tour in late 2017 after winning the Paris Masters 1000 and qualifying for the ATP Tour Finals in London.
It has been a disappointing last couple seasons with injuries, lay-offs and disappointing form. Married and refreshed and having taken a break from the pandemic, the American returned to the ATP Challenger Tour and remained upbeat about his return to the main tour, as he sought to make a comeback from his world number 229 ranking.
Sock has been showing recent signs of the sort of form that once made him a top ten player and brought him four career titles before a loss of form and a long injury lay-off derailed his career.
The American made the quarter-finals at the Hall of Fame Open in Newport before losing out to eventual winner Kevin Anderson and lost in the round of 16 to John Isner in Atlanta last week, who also went on to win the title.
In his opening around here, Sock was in a tussle with Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka before the Japanese pulled out with fitness concerns giving Sock a less hard working win that was it was looking like after losing the first set tiebreak.
The 2017 Paris Masters’ winner will be hoping to continue his good form heading deeper into the US Open series.
Nadal v Sock Prediction and Tip
Although Nadal is returning to the tour after a break and injury recovery and Sock has been looking good in his comeback, the Spaniard starts as a very strong favorite here and should prevail in two comfortable sets.
Tip: Nadal to win in straight sets: 2/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
