Jason Kubler Cheering Thread

Jason Kubler, 15, from Brisbane is the latest in a long line of Queenslanders to emerge. Following on from the likes of Patrick Rafter, Marc Kimmich, Robert Smeets and Bernard Tomic, Kubler has been quietly going about his business on the ITF Junior Circuit, and more recently, the ITF Men's Circuit. This comes after being the standout player of the 2007 European Young Stars Tour, in which he won a couple of the most prestigous tournaments in the 14&U age group, and led Australia to victory at the 2007 World Junior Tennis Competition. It was the first time Australia has ever claimed the title, our two previous best performances were 3rd in 1995 (with Lleyton Hewitt in the team) and 3rd in 2005.

In his past four tournaments on the ITF Junior Circuit, Jason has made two quarter finals. On the men's circuit, Jason has been winning one or two matches, in qualifying, for the recent QLD 15k's, and just this week he qualified for the main draw of the 15k in Gympie.

Let me tell you that I have seen him play and he is so so good for his age. Powerful, accurate groundstrokes, a strong serve and good movement. He, along with Bernard and Brydan Klein, is the future of Australian men's tennis

Photo of Kubler after his win in the Italy F4 Future event. A certain Jordan Thompson is with him as well. Good to see.

I didn't know he was diagnosed with depression. I feel for him and am so glad things look to be back on track again.

I'm excited about next week. It looks like he'll get a top 4 seed at Edinburgh F10 but F11 the following week is a tougher field.

Just letting you guys know next week Jason is playing two futures in Great Britain on clay with other Australian's Dayne Kelly, Jordan Thompson and Simon Ede. He has a good chance of winning them IMO because the British players aren't particularly good on clay and Jason is building himself into a clay court specialist.

Hand Fitzgerald a walkover in the semi. I hope it's not to serious and he's playing a challenger or another event next week. Certainly didn't seem to be injured.

His knee flares up from time to time so he's a day by day and week by week prospect. He still gained solid points, which was good.

Great result and it looks like those problems are over - if there was any. Hope he can win the title from here.

Surprisingly Koobs goes down to England's (or is it Wales') Marcus Willis in three sets. He won the first set 6-3 but then went down 64 62.
