PARIS — Jack Sock has already experienced Jack Sock Day, which took place last September in Lincoln, Neb.
He has also been honored on the field during a University of Nebraska football game and is still hoping to take batting practice in his other touchstone city with the Kansas City Royals.
But how about facing Rafael Nadal at the French Open? Bucket list item? Or cause for cold sweats the night before in Paris (after dinner at Chipotle)?
“I guess maybe a little bit of a bucket list,” said Sock, the 22-year-old American who is into his first fourth round at a Grand Slam singles tournament.
