After impressive results at the first two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events of the season and a maiden title run in Houston, Jack Sock has reached a career-high Emirates ATP Ranking of No. 33.

It turns out those accomplishments may just be overshadowed by his unofficial rank as the No. 1 ping pong player on the ATP World Tour.

“I scrap a lot, make a lot of balls,” he said of his style during a turn as guest editor of the ATP Insider. “I play pretty far behind the table and just annoy guys.”

Nick Kyrgios got a taste of Sock’s skills in Rome when the two faced off in the players’ lounge. At stake was a haircut with the on-site stylist.

Sock, who has boldly described himself as the “Ferrer or Djokovic of ping pong”, got the last laugh, maintaining his undefeated record against fellow players.

Will anyone else be brave enough to challenge the Nebraska native’s ping pong prowess?

@andyroddick @JackSock is undefeated in ping pong, but I think you can give him a good challenge. http://t.co/L57yxbTzBR
