At 23 he should invest more in his game to take his ranking higher.

College results are sometimes a pretty good indicator of singles quality though. He could surprise us, but there isn't clear evidence to expect top-200 in singles. But then again, who knows - I will be very happy to see him reach higher. Saketh for instance went a bit higher than I expected, which was around a 250 career-high.

Sure, he should try to push his singles rankings up for at least another 2-3 years but he certainly has it in him to make a lot of money playing doubles too, so he should keep that also in mind.

True, Jay. Saketh did way better what one expected from his college results reaching top 150. Frankly, I was not expecting even top 250 from him. But, then Saketh was ranked close to top 20 ranking in college tennis and had a few top 10 wins too in singles. Arjun has only been barely in top 100. His results in these 3 weeks of Indian futures are better than expected. But, still it will be surprise if he can go inside top 300-250.

In doubles, he was NCAA championship semi finalist in 1 year and was ranked in top 3. So, the expectations can be much higher in doubles.
