Emerson Jones remains the the top-ranked Australian in the latest ITF World Tennis Tour junior girls’ rankings, sitting at a career-high world No.3.

The 15-year-old from the Gold Coast is the highest-ranked Australian junior girl since Ash Barty, who was also 15 at the time, peaked at world No.2 in 2011.

Alana Subasic is proving another to watch, with the 17-year-old from Sydney recording 22 wins from her 28 singles matches so far in 2024.

This has helped Subasic, who missed six months last year with a broken wrist, improve her ranking almost 200 places since January.

Kimiko Cooper is the biggest mover of the week. The 16-year-old from Sydney rises 24 places after advancing to the third round at an ITF J300 tournament in Malaysia.

Junior boys

Hugh Winter returns to the top 100 this week after the winning the biggest doubles title of his career at a ITF J300 tournament in Malaysia.

Jake Dembo takes biggest mover honours, with the 16-year-old from Perth skyrocketing up 81 places to world No.244 after reaching the singles quarterfinals in Malaysia.
