Athina Schlepphorst beat the 4th seed, won her next match and then went out, in a third-set TB, to Hannah Ayrault, age 13, who is making quite a lot of waves in her first ITF event
J100 Turkey
Freya Peet has won two rounds and is into the QFs in singles, and semis in doubles
A bit hardcore this, but Athina Schlepphorst played the J100 in the USA this week
The eventual two finalists are:
Christina Lyutova - born 2010 - she's Russian but lives in the USA. Has won practically all her matches, is miles ahead of the others in many ways. BUT she's never left the USA to play abroad. There's speculation that she has a major visa issue. SHe should be playing Les Petits As, all those sort of events, she's playing some pretty daft events in the US instead, J30s (that she's won barely losing a game), adult money events, bascially anything going. But something definitely a little weird behind the scenes
Hannah Ayrault - born 2010 - American - playing her first ever ITF juniors event (she's only 13). At Marcello Ferreira's academy. Has attracted quite a lot of attention
But Hannah only won in a third-set TB today. So probably a bit tired. Lyutova will be the favourite
