Promising Australian teen Omar Jasika was given a tennis lesson by Briton Kyle Edmund in their Kooyong Classic match.

Granted a wildcard to next week's Australian Open, the 18-year-old, playing his third match in as many days, ran out of steam as he fell to the world No.88 6-3 6-3 on Thursday.

In a rain-interrupted day, three matches were completed at the traditional Australian Open warm-up event.

Spaniard Nicolas Almagro posted his second win of the tournament with a 6-2 6-2 victory over South Korean youngster Hyeon Chung.

Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis bounced back from his opening round loss to post a hard-fought win over Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 7-6 6-3.
