Jordan Thompson @2.62 (Wild card australian wonder kid)
Jordan was the winner of the mamoth Australian Open wild card tournament play off.
He beat the likes of John Patrick smith and Ben Mitchell. The win over Mitchell was particularly impressive.
Hard, flat and aggresive baseliner. Reads his opponents very well, anticipation top notch and an amazing counterpuncher.
Certainly a prospect for the future, whether he was playing a one off amazing tennis match against Mitchell I have no idea, but he produced it and won in 5 sites. If he plays even remotely, 30% as good as he did there, he'll sweep aside **.
He may have been inspired, but he's wildcard for Sydney qualifiers.
Poor highlights, but you can still see he's a talent.....
** 's a consistent grinder, but quite passive also at times. If Jordan plays similarly, he should win. ** has no weapons, just a mentally tough grinder.
