Melbourne, Australia, 20 May 2013 | tennis.com.au

Just days after his 16th birthday, promising Aussie youngster Omar Jasika has been given the gift of a substantial rise in the latest edition of the ATP World Tour rankings.

Jasika rose 104 places after reaching the quarterfinals of the ITF Futures event in Santa Margherita Di Pula, Italy, and now sits at No.1,080 in the ATP rankings.

Currently the world’s 34th-ranked junior, Jasika only debuted in the main draw of an ITF senior-level event as recently as September 2012.

Despite his inexperience, he was able to brush aside No.222-ranked Arthur De Greef of Belgium in the second round of the Italian event before falling in straight sets to local Salvatore Caruso.
