Following on from the amazing results of their fellow Queenslander Bernard Tomic, Ash Barty and Jason Kubler have continued to progress through the Wimbledon Junior Championships.

Jason Kubler had a straightforward win over American Marcos Giron 6-3 6-3, and will now face a Belgian in the quarterfinals – Julien Cagnina.

In the girls’ singles championships, Ash Barty continued her success- with the twelfth seed defeating Germany’s Katharina Lehnert, 6-1 6-2. Barty now faces unseeded American Madison Keys in the third round.

In other Queensland Wimbledon news, Bernard Tomic gave world no. 2 Novak Djokovic a scare, going down in 4 sets 6-2 3-6 6-3 7-5. Tomic was the youngest competitor in 30 years to reach a Wimbledon quarterfinal, which is a fantastic accomplishment for this junior player. 

Paul Hanley and his Swedish partner Simon Aspelin came out on the wrong side of a marathon match against top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan. Hanley and Aspelin were eventually knocked out 16-14 in the fifth set.

Hanley had better luck in the mixed, coming out on top with partner Su-Wei Hsieh over second seeds Max Mirnyi and Yaroslava Shvedova.

And in the women’s doubles event, Australians Sam Stosur and Anastasia Rodionova are on a quarterfinal collision course after they both made it through their respective doubles matches.
