James Duckworth

Current form
Duckworth still managed to return to the top 100. After the injury, the Australian did not perform at his best, but now his results have improved. Although, James's main successes were on grass, but on hard he can only boast the second round of the Masters in Montreal, where he lost to Casper Ruud in three sets.
