That's the problem with pesky juniors :(

Especially Czech female juniors - there's a whole stable of rather annoyingly good girls coming out of Czechia.

Allez, Sonay !

Nice one.

Sonay seems to be a bit of a slow starter in matches.

I wondered about that but today the first match ended in a retirement after about 7 games so maybe her preparation was cut short.

Wonderful! Did Sonay make the FO Q cut?

tharris · Intermediate Club Player

Looks like she's finding some of her early 2022 form. Great to see.

The Q list is not out yet. It should be based on next Monday's rankings, 24/04.

Her points from this week won't add in time for that but she is still live ranked 216 for 24/04. Even If she doesn't quite make the initial.list. I am sure she will end up ranked high enough.
