Promising British star Paul Jubb has studied the game of world No. 1 Novak Djokovic as he is impressed by the 15-time Grand Slam champion.
The 19-year-old has drawn attention to his name this grass season but he has yet to turn professional as he is playing college tennis.
Jubb, who started this month without a ranking, is now ranked at No. 472 in the world.
Jubb has already made a notable ranking jump as 686 players have a ranking on the ATP list.
"I just love the way he moves so elegantly and just the way he plays... I just love his game. I have studied Novak’s game for so long and just – that return stance, I felt comfortable doing that," Jubb revealed, per George Bellshaw of Metro UK.
After losing in the Ilkley Challenger round-of-16 last week, the Briton received a wildcard to play the Eastbourne qualifying over the weekend.
Jubb didn't disappoint the Eastbourne organizers as he beat Denis Istomin in the first round, before clinching his first top-100 win over Andrey Rublev to qualify for his first ATP main draw.
Jubb couldn't clinch his maiden ATP win as 42nd-ranked Taylor Fritz was too much for him in the Eastbourne first round.
Next up for Jubb will be Wimbledon, where he is set to make his Grand Slam debut.
