Matthew Ebden Advances In Qualifying Draw

22 year old Aussie had an easy time.

Matthew Ebden’s goal of playing in his second consecutive Australian Open is still alive as he shrugged off Spain’s Carlos-Poch Gradin in the first round of qualifying.  The final score was 6-2, 6-1 and Edben now meets Adrian Menendez-Maceiras, in what looks like a coin toss.

Ebden is ranked 250th in the world but that is his career high ranking and he appears to be mid-surge.  Ebden has never played in a singles draw for a Grand Slam yet as last year’s showing was a doubles accomplishment.
