Sock impresses in 2024 debut, but tougher foes await Thursday

PALM SPRINGS, CA - Jack Sock had a successful start to the 2024 season Wednesday, coming away with wins in men’s doubles and men’s singles.

The competition didn’t necessarily like a typical doubles match, though, with speed ups and hands battles outnumbering dink rallies at the kitchen line.

A much tougher matchup awaits the tandem in the Round of 16 Thursday: No. 4 seeds Riley Newman and Thomas Wilson, who won a silver medal together at December’s PPA Finals.

In singles, the four-time Grand Slam champion took down qualifier Mohaned Alhouni 11-8, 11-4 to book his spot in the Round of 16 and set an enticing matchup with No. 4 seed Connor Garnett.
