Julian Wilson's alley-oop puts him on track for defence in Portugal Julian Wilson earned a perfect 10-point score to move into an all-Australian round four heat in Portugal. Julian Wilson's alley-oops propelled him to the first perfect 10 point ride of this year's Rip Curl Pro Portugal Picture: Kirsten Scholtz/ASP Source: Supplied JULIAN Wilson has pulled off what has been described as one of the biggest alley-oops seen in competitive surfing to move into an all-Australian round-four heat at the Rip Curl Pro surf event at Supertubos in Portugal. The 24-year-old defending event winner struggled to find his rhythm at the start of the round, but launched into the sky-high trick halfway through to earn a 10-point score. "I felt like I bit off a bit more than I could chew when I was in the air on that one, but somehow I pulled it, that section was really really good," Wilson said. At that point of the heat I was really quite nervous, I only had one opportunity to do an air, and I was lucky enough to capitalise on it. Following the perfect score, Wilson continued to dominate, driving through a beautiful backside barrel to secure the heat lead and win over American Damien Hobgood. Meanwhile, Mick Fanning, 32, reaffirmed his leader position on the ASP World Title Race, easily advancing ahead of event wildcard and fellow Australian Jacob Willcox. The 16-year-old last week stunned in the opening round when he beat 11-time world champion Kelly Slater, however, Fanning controlled the 30 minute exchange from start to finish on Wednesday. Joel Parkinson, the reigning ASP World Champion, found himself in need of a score in the dying seconds of his round-three match-up with Brazil's Alejo Muniz, and caught a big righthander on the buzzer, unloading a powerful carve to collect the heat-winning ride. "It was a scratchy heat, battling for fives and sixes and it's been a lot of heats like that in the last couple of events," the 32-year-old said. It's a super long shot for me in the World Title race, you don't want to pray for Mick (Fanning) to lose, and I'd have to have two wins or something, I just really hope it goes down to Pipe for me. Matt Wilkinson also advanced, beating out Brazilian contender Adriano De Souza, while fellow Australians Kai Otton, Josh Kerr and Taj Burrow defeated compatriots Bede Durbidge, Adam Melling, and Kieren Perrow respectively. An all-Australian competition is up first when the event recommences, with Parkinson, Otton and Wilson in the first non-elimination round-four heat.
