Junior ranking movers: Emerson Jones soars to world No.3

Junior girls

Emerson Jones climbs to a career-high world No.3 in the latest ITF World Tennis Tour junior girls' rankings.

The 15-year-old from the Gold Coast rises five spots after becoming the first Australian to advance to a girls' singles final at the Australian Open in 16 years.

This makes Jones the highest-ranked Aussie junior since Ash Barty, who was also 15 at the time, peaked at world No.2 in December 2011.

Maya Joint makes her top-20 debut this week, improving five places after reaching the third round at the Australian Open.

Tahlia Kokkinis (up 56 spots to world No.232) and Alana Subasic (rising 64 places to world No.242) have also been rewarded for scoring main-draw wins in the Australian Open girls' singles competition.
