It was an all TeamBath MCTA Semi Final at the Barclays TeamBath Under 21 Challenge Event with Taz and Jade battling it out for a place in the final. Jade won a closely contested first set 7/5 before taking the second set 6/2 confirming her place in the final.
Jade was top seed for the tournament and won convincingly in the Quarter Finals against Elliesa Ball 6/1 6/1. Taz seeded four, overcome a tough second round match against Dominique Covington 7/5 2/6 6/2 but won comfortably against Eleanor Houselander 6/0 6/1 to secure her place in the Semi Finals. Following their Semi Final battle, Taz narrowly lost the third and fourth play off against Nicole Peterson 5/7 in the final set and Jade went onto take the U21 Women’s Title with a walk over against Annabel Bann.
The Challenge Event ran alongside the LTA’s AEGON Pro-Series International Futures tournament, which also took place on the indoor courts at the TeamBath Sports Training Village. After a disappointing first round defeat in the tournament, Jade bounced back to reach the final of the women’s doubles with fellow MCTA TeamBath player Anna Fitzpatrick, but went down 6-3, 6-2 to top seeds Malou Ejdesgaard (DEN) and Katarzyna Piter (POL). |
