British tennis player Paul Jubb has failed to qualify for the Australian Open, going down to Argentina’s Juan Pablo Ficovich 6-4 6-4.
Despite Jubb’s best efforts, Ficovich proved forceful in the first set, with the Briton struggling to match the Argentinian’s service game.
Ficovich, with a current ATP ranking of 193, came out of the gate strong and won an early break during the first set.
Jubb, who has a current ATP ranking of 189, was unable to recover from the early setback, giving up the set 6-4.
The Argentine continued to overwhelm Jubb thereafter, leading to consecutive breaks that gave him a 5-1 lead, before sealing a victory on 6-4 to advance to the second round of the Australian Open qualifiers.
