Victorian Omar Jasika and Canberra’s Alexandra Nancarrow have continued their recent success on the ITF circuit with titles at the weekend overseas.
Jasika claimed the Kelowna Futures title in Canada; seeded No.1, he ripped through the draw, dropping just one set.
That came in the final, a match he won 3-6 6-4 7-6(4) over American Eric Quigley.
It is the second career professional title for the 18-year-old Jasika, the reigning US Open junior champion.
In May, he claimed his first title at a Futures event in Changwon, Korea, and has now won 10 of his past 11 matches.
Nancarrow, meanwhile, took her winning streak to 10 with a victory at the $10,000 ITF claycourt event in Prokuplje, Serbia.
It was her second straight title at the venue – it hosts back-to-back ITF events – and her third overall; in 2014 she won her first career title, also in Prokuplje.
Nancarrow, 21, also won the doubles title at the Serbian event.
