Boys & Girls: 55° Trofeo Bonfiglio, Italy, clay - Grade A (Week 21)
Permalink  

The strongest GA event outside the Grand Slams only had one British direct entrant (Izzy Wallace), but going through qualifying has proved fruitful for all three of our hopefuls - Maia Lumsden (seeded to do so), Mirabelle Njoze and Aswin Lizen (who weren't). Katy Dunne was a surprise rare British semi-finalist here last year.

Izzy is on at 8am BST tomorrow, with live scores available by clicking through from http://www.tennis-ticker.com/cms/iwebs/default.aspx

Boys R1 (L64)

(Q) Aswin Lizen (GBR) v Zhuoyang Qiu (CHN)

Girls R1 (L64)

Isabelle Wallace (GBR) v (15) Iryna Shymanovich (BLR)

(Q) Maia Lumsden (GBR) v (Q) Silvia Chinellato (ITA)

(Q) Mirabelle Njoze (GBR) v Anastasia Nefedova (RUS)

Aswin has a particularly challenging task ahead, against Andrey Rublev, ranked 530 ATP - though one of his few defeats this year was against Andrew Watson.

Boys R2

(Q) Aswin Lizen (GBR) v (5) Andrey Rublev (RUS)

Girls R2

(Q) Maia Lumsden (GBR) v (Q) Katherine Sebov (CAN)
(Q) Mirabelle Njoze (GBR) v (10) Sandra Samir (EGY)

Maia appeared to have the best draw (although Sebov upset Olga Fridman, who gave Maia a lot of grief on clay in Tennis Europe Under 14 events) and she took full advantage. She faces the JWR10 next, who she edged out last month in the Chinese girl's first match on European clay. Aswin did well to take a set off Rublev but the Russian hit back strongly

Boys R2

(5) Andrey Rublev (RUS) d. (Q) Aswin Lizen (GBR) 6-3 6-7(1) 6-0

Girls R2

(Q) Maia Lumsden (GBR) d. (Q) Katherine Sebov (CAN) 6-3 7-5
(10) Sandra Samir (EGY) d. (Q) Mirabelle Njoze (GBR) 6-4 6-4

R3

(8) Ziyue Sun (CHN) v (Q) Maia Lumsden (GBR)

Unfortunately the Chinese girl gained revenge. Nevertheless reaching round 3 will be good enough for Maia to move back into the top 100

R3

(8) Ziyue Sun (CHN) d. (Q) Maia Lumsden (GBR) 6-7(4) 6-1 6-3

Oh, what a shame. Score line looks she ran out of gas for some reason.
