Jay Andrijic

“We were captained by former doubles star Mark Woodforde in the Junior Davis Cup and he was a great inspiration for me. It was a good experience to sit with him and share his experience at the top level,”

“A lot of people, including Mark, have told me I have what it takes to become a professional.

“My aim this year is to move up the rankings to qualify for next year’s junior major tournaments and represent Australia in the Junior Davis Cup again.

Good luck to Jay.
Who was the old JA? Surely you are not diving into ancient history?

The old J.A. is John Alexander, probably known better for his commentating skills :) than his tennis career.

new news about j.a? ranking or results?

Also kind of went unnoticed but he won the junior boys doubles tittle at the AO with Bradley Mousley.

Yeah - I was following that. Well done Jay and Brad - a Junior Grand Slam title is something of which to to be proud.

I feel some solid singles results aren't too far off for Jay. He qualified and made the 2nd round of F2 this week, before falling to 7th seed Andrea Arnaboldi 6-7(5) 7-6(5) 6-3. Hopefully he can make a Futures quarter-final soon.
