“I’m super excited,” Delgado told Sky Sports Tennis. “He’s one of the up and coming players in world tennis and one of the few guys that can challenge Jannik [Sinner] and Carlos [Alcaraz] at the top.”He’s British as well, which for me makes it even more special. He’s a great player, great boy and super exciting.
“James spent a couple of weeks with us on the practice court and I’ve known James for so long and kept up to date with Jack’s progress in recent years. I’ve been on the practice court with them over time as well, which has been a help.
“Even though I known Jack for a long time, that sort of insight – how he trains, what makes him tick – it’s been a good head start for me.”
