Jack won back-to-back World Championship Singles titles in 2017 and 2019, marking an incredible comeback after major surgery five years before his maiden triumph.
Both of his legs were broken in two places to allow them to be straightened and after nine months recovering in a wheelchair, he has gone from strength to strength to climb to the top of the rankings.
Jack, who hails from Dronfield in Derbyshire, has always been a keen sportsman and started playing badminton at the age of 10.
