The champ thinks I'm decent?!
Iglar watch 2048: Short term: the old manager left him slightly underplayed, which I need to correct before Indian Wells. Long term: His dominant days are behind him, but I think he's good for a few more masters if his form is maintained. He'll eventually transition to doubles, but not for 2 years at least.
Incidentally, if anyone is looking for a future Junior #1, look at 15 year old Simen Christensen, who I had to cut to pick up Iglar. His pro prospects might only be average, but he should dominate in juniors with a new manager.
