Daciek had his most success recently at the USA F20 Futures event in Decatur, Ill. where he won four qualifying matches to advance into the Main Draw of 32. One of the qualifying victories was a, 6-3, 6-4, win over Clint Bowles who played No. 2 singles at Florida State and ended the dual match season ranked 56th nationally.
