A biography for Jack Sockhasn’t been written yet.
“When you're watching college tennis and you're in that close match, there's nothing better.”
“Just being out on court, just all the experience you get on court can only help.”
“Some guys usually get intimidated by my forehand.”
“Grand Slam matches are always tough.”
“My game is pretty straightforward, I feel like. If there's a big point I'm looking for a forehand; looking to be aggressive.”
“How many players can say they're the best in their country? But it's not a goal I ever thought about.”
“I believe and am confident in my game.”
“No matter how well you do, there's always people that are going to hate or have better expectations.”
“I'm going to win or lose a match playing on my terms, playing my game, which is big and aggressive and trying to dictate points. Not shying away from that.”
“I want to win singles titles.”
“My mom used to play, so she had rackets around the house. We hit on the garage door for a little while, and then she got mad, so we went to a local racket club and took lessons.”
“I think any success you can have on the tennis court, doubles helps. If you're playing on the weekend, you're in the trophy ceremony at the end of it, one of the last guys in the locker room, it can only give you confidence.”
“I've always been a little different in the way I've done things, going to high school instead of a tennis academy when I was younger.”
“Traveling so much to tournaments, you get behind in school work.”
“It starts with family - they've sacrificed so much for me, with my parents moving away from each other when we were young, for tennis.”
“Tennis is my life, obviously, and it's my career. But it's not the be-all, end-all.”
“I've always had a thing for playing in front of people, and the nerves never really creep in too much for some reason for me.”
“Some people like the off days to do a light practice or work on things and then get ready for the next match. I don't mind going out and playing a doubles match and working on returning serving and working on a few things.”
“Obviously, not many people get to be pro athletes and hopefully make it in their sport. So I'm just lucky enough to have the chance.”
“Playing in the U.S. Open is the biggest and most important moment of the season for me.”
