First day of individual events

Dear readers

The Australian Under 15s Championship has commenced.

It has been a tough day for many of the players especially the younger ones.

Team events are over and it is now the fight for personal glory.

However many of the state players have already stretched their young bodies to the limit in fighting for their state. We are proud of them.

Now, lets see where the WA players are at:

Singles:

Eric Lee has gone to the plate. Was he with Geraldton?  Matthew Cunnigham played Thomas Ng and lost in 2 sets. He goes to the plate too.

Theodore won an easy 2 sets against Rayne Wang but faces Otto Zhao of Voc tomorrow. This will be a tough fight.  Good luck Theodore.

Jia Ding lost to Austin Chen and also moves to the plate.

Justin Lim lost to Xenos He and also goes to the plate.

Damien also lost to G Jap in 2 sets and goes to the plate.

Julian beat Charles Jong in 2 sets but lost to Ben Chen in 3 sets. He must be disappointed. Ben is seeded  3/4 so Justin should not be disappointed.

Dawson beat beat Ivan Wong in 3 setsbefore losing to Jack Yu.

No. 2 seed, Jonny beat Asher in 2 sets and meets Jack Yu tomorrow.

Bernice is seeded 1. She beat Phoebe Ooi in 2 easy sets and plays Sydney Go tomorrow.

Anika Hird lost to P Kusiadi and goes to the plate.

Lily Klein also moves to the plate losing in 2 sets to Gloria Li.

R Swain also moves to the plate after losing to Catrina Tan in 2 sets.

Cindy Lawrence also goes to the plate after losing to Carina Sam in 2 sets.

Joanne beat Jasmine Donald in 2 sets but lost to 3/4 seed K Ea.

Lucy Lin also moves to the plate after losing to Fiona Le in 2 sets.

Shakti  played Fiona Le and also moves to the plate.

Likewise Vevina lost in 2 sets to Irene Chau and goes to the plate.

Gee, there are lots of  WA players in the plate singles.

In the Mixed doubles:

Damien and R Swain moved to the plate after losing in 3 sets to Xenos He and Carina Sam.

Dawson and Lily Klein lost to Ben Chen and Gloria Li so they go to the plate.

Allen Fang partnered Cindy but lost to M Cunningham and A Hird. M Cunningham and A Hird then met Otto and Sydney losing in 2 sets.

Jonny and Bernice had easy wins against Asher Ooi and J Donald.They play Otto and Sydney. This should be a good match to watch.

Julian and Joanne are doing well progressing after beating W Johnson and J Kaur, Gavin Li and M Turner, They face Rayne Wang and Fiona Le tomorrow.

Rayne Wang and Fiona Le beat Theodore and Yasmin Say in 3 sets.

Jiading and Lucy Lin also go to the plate after losing in 2 sets to G Jap and Irene Chau.

Timothy and Vevina also moved to the plate after losing to Ivan Wong and P Kustiadi in 2 sets.

Boys doubles:

Eric Lee and Jiading go to the plate after losing to C Jong and M Kha in 3 sets.

Dawson and Damian had a walkover against  W Johnson and Justin Lim. They then lost to B Chen and G Jap in 2 close sets.

M Cunningham and Timothy lost to Austin Chen and Gavin Ong and go to the plate.

Theodore and Julian also lost to Xenos He and Ivan Wong after a close 3 setter. The final score was 23/21. They must be devastated.

Girls doubles:

Shakti and Anika lost in 2 sets to Phoebe and Carina.

Lily Klein and Lucy Rose also lost to J Donald and M Turner.

Bernice and injured Joanne did not have much luck losing to P Kustiadi and Angela Yu. I was told by Annie that Tyzton was coaching them. They were losing as Joanne was not well. To encourage her, Tyz promised her an ice cream if she got another point. She proceeded to get 5 pts and Tyz declared himself broke. They progress to the plate and should clean up there.

Cindy and Vevina lost to Sydney and Fiona Le in 2 sets and also go to the plate.

The stars to look out for will be Jonny and Bernice. They should both be in the singles finals.

Jonny and Bernice need to beat Otto and Sydney tomorrow to get to the finals.
 
Julian and Joanne need to fight for their right to be in the mixed doubles finals.

We hope the best for Theodore when he meets Otto.

Good night.
