Edinburgh: Jacob Fearnley is making waves in the tennis world. He just reached the third round of the Australian Open, and it’s his first time in this tournament. Pretty impressive, right?
At just 23, he’s already taken down some big names, including former Wimbledon finalist Nick Kyrgios. He came back from a set down to beat French player Arthur Cazaux. Now, he’s gearing up to face world number two, Alexander Zverev. Talk about a challenge!
Fearnley’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Last year, he was ranked 646th. Now, he’s sitting at 92nd, with a recent high of 86th. That’s a serious jump!
After his win over Cazaux, a fan called him “the next Andy Murray.” Fearnley, being humble, brushed it off, saying, “I don’t think so.” But honestly, he’s definitely on the rise.
His girlfriend, Keagan Polk, has been a huge support for him. They met at Texas Christian University, where he played tennis and she excelled in beach volleyball. She’s always in the stands cheering him on.
They’re celebrating their third anniversary soon, and Keagan often shares their moments on Instagram. It’s sweet to see their relationship grow alongside his career.
Fearnley’s time in the U.S. has helped him a lot, but he jokes that he’s lost his Scottish accent. After his win, tennis legend John McEnroe even pointed it out. Fearnley laughed and said, “It’s coming back the longer I’m outside the States.”
