Read our privacy policy Jacob Fearnley wants to keep learning from the best after his fine Australian Open debut was ended by a straight-sets loss to second seed Alexander Zverev in the third round. Less than eight months into his professional tennis career, Fearnley will break into the world’s top 80 after the tournament, and he is certain to go higher with no ranking points to defend until June. It’s really cool to see the progression and to be where I am now.” The same week last year, Fearnley was paying college tennis for Texas Christian University and it was not until the grass-court season last summer that he began his professional career. Zverev’s strength on serve and a couple of loose games after breaking the German in sets two and three stopped a repeat here, but Fearnley’s game held up well.
