In-form Eden Richardson is surprisingly tackling another G4, and is top seed (the only Brit among the top 4 seeds)

Full draw: http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100033681

Easy as expected for Eden but 13 year old Esther Adeshina had a good win in her second ITF taking out the Irish 4th seed.

I've absolutely no idea but I would just assume she lost, severely.

It's far more rare for juniors to continue when they're sick or injured than adults. Partly because the pressure of results is that much less (no bills to pay, career to seal) and also because juniors almost always have parents or coaches with them who will intervene if they see that there is a problem.

She may well just have been having an off-day, 1% below par, or whatever. But that's life, not an issue.

Of course, do hope she's OK, but my assumption (maybe wrong) would be that she is.
