Now his plan makes sense, **** around in the lesser 250s to get used to hard courts and conserve then explode in Cincinnati and US Open and get that ranking up!! Selective tourney-playing! Smart guy.

EP had a guess that Baker-man simply is not physically ready for whole-year-tennis so ups and downs for this guy shouldn't surprise anyone.
Possibly he is on the way up now.
