Fearnley not obsessed about breaking into top 100

Jake Fearnley will not obsess about cracking the world top 100 but is happy to linger on the fright he gave Novak Djokovic.

The 23-year-old Scot took a set from the seven-time former champion in a three-hour epic on Centre Court that thrilled home fans at Wimbledon this summer.

Fearnley has, meanwhile, won three Challenger titles - coming from a set down to beat home hope Quentin Halys in the latest in Rennes this month - since recently graduating from Texas Christian University.

Now ranked 126 - an improvement of 520 places since January - he is knocking on the door of a real milestone in the ATP standings.
