(1) Helene Pellicano (MLT) v Emma Raducanu
Kylie Bilchev v (4) Denisa Hindova (CZE)

Spectator · All-time great

Excellent wins. Well done to both.

DavidC · Tennis legend

The girls couldn't rise an extra level to be competitive in the quarters unfortunately

QF

(1) Helene Pellicano (MLT) d. Emma Raducanu 6-2 6-0
(4) Denisa Hindova (CZE) d. Kylie Bilchev 6-2 6-2

Spectator · All-time great

Given Ms Raducanu and Ms Bilchev's other results, their two opponents must indeed, as you had suggested, be rather formidably impressive.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Shame, both Emma and Kylie had done so well. I see Helene has already won a grade 3 and made a semi final of a grade 2, although Gemma Heath beat her earlier this year.
