Jason Kubler (born 19 May 1993) is a professional tennis player from Australia.
In 2009 Kubler was a part of the winning Australian junior Davis Cup team with Luke Saville and Joey Swaysland. Following his success at the junior Davis Cup, Kubler won 5 junior titles in a row which saw his junior ranking rise to No. 3 in the world.
Coming into the 2010 Australian Open junior championships Kubler was named by many as a favourite to win his home Grand Slam and make it three from the last four years to be home grown champions. Although Kubler started the tournament well he fell in the third round to fellow Aussie and eventual runner up Sean Berman. Despite being seeded second and first in Roland Garros and Wimbledon junior tournaments respectively, Kubler did not live up to his seeding, crashing in the second and third round of either tournament.
Kubler received a wildcard entry into his first and only junior tournament of 2011 in the 2011 Wimbledon Championships. Kubler reached the semifinals before falling to local Liam Broady and in doing so recorded his best ever junior result.
As a junior Kubler reached the No. 1 combined world ranking, posting a singles win/loss record of 67-17 (and 42-19 in doubles) in May 2010.
Junior Slam results:
Australian Open: 3R (2010)
French Open: 2R (2010)
Wimbledon: SF (2011)
US Open: 1R (2010)
Kubler played his first senior tournament in September 2008, of the five Australian future tournaments he entered he was able to qualify for one which resulted in a straight sets first round loss to Marinko Matosevic.
2009 saw Kubler again enter Australian future events in which some he qualified for and some he was given a wildcard entry to. After much success on the ITF junior circuit Kubler disappointed with a first round loss in all the Australian future main draws he played.
