I wouldn’t go that far (I still think Frances could improve a lot under the right tutelage, perhaps because he’s so unorthodox), but there’s no obvious successor to Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe, Connors, Ashe, Courier, Chang, or even Roddick. Jack Sock could be an all-time great doubles specialist if he focused on that.

I still remember when CBS made a big hoopla about Jack Sock when he was in the juniors. Lawd that's all I heard during the US Open. He has been a complete bust. He is a player that refuses to work hard and lose that blubber he has...he is lazy. He reminds me a lot of Kyrgios and Tomic.

I think sitting or standing uses the back in very different ways than reaching for a serve, crouching for a volley or even torquing the body for a backhand smash.  

 

Maybe part of his break is also a mental health holiday.  I really don't have a problem with that.
