In an epic comeback story, the injury-bedevilled Australian and former junior world No 1 has come back from the brink to claim a famous victory
Hailed as Australia’s “right-handed version of Rafael Nadal” before injuries derailed his career, Jason Kubler has fought back from match point down to move just one match away from making it into the main draw of the French Open for the first time.
Turning 29-years-old on match day, the former junior world number one Kubler dug deep to come back from the brink of defeat and savour one of his biggest wins over the experienced Moldovan Radu Albot in the second round of qualifying.
