Been tracking him in Brisbane this week. AK looks in top form and very solid.

Defeating both Cam Norrie and Gio Mpetshi Perricard back to back this week are no easy tasks. So kudos to Aleks for those wins. He has a tough semi matchup later today against Brandon Nakashima.

If he can win that then he'll find himself in the Top 50 (#47 according to the ATP Live Rankings). Outside of Kevin Anderson I don't think I recall any Illini alum that has ever made the Top 50 world rankings before.

Pretty awesome to see!
