Boys & Girls: 2024 ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals, Chengdu, PR China, hard (Week 42)


In the other match in Mika's group Kristina only dropped 2 games against Laura somewhat surprisingly, though Laura has just played a couple of matches since retiring from the Prague WTA250 semi in July. Mika plays Laura second match tomorrow (first match is at 5.30 am BST). Charlie plays the Korean he has a good record against scheduled for midday

Very good win for Mika, winning over Tyra Grant, WR # 4, 4 and 4.


That feels like an excellent result for her - has she beaten anyone ranked higher than Grant in the JWR?


 

She beat the then JWR 2 on the way to winning the Junior US Open.


 Yes, had victories over the current world Nos. 1 and 2 at the US Open.

Tyra Grant beat Penickova however, so all 4 players have a 1-1 record entering the final round. Both matches are therefore straight knockouts, no sets difference is relevant now.

So Mika plays Penickova tomorrow, winner gets into the semis.

How on earth did Penickova beat Samson 62 60? I know Samson hasn't played much recently but even so. I still think on Mika's racket tomorrow.

In Charlies group, Mrva beat Preda.

That means if Charlie can beat Kim, all 4 boys in the group will be on a 1-1 record, similar to Mikas group. It would mean Charlie and Mrva would face a straight knockout match to see who gets through to the semis.

First, Charlie has to beat Kim and they have just started. As per DavidC post at the start of this thread, Charlie has beaten Kim in the last 3 slams - no gimme but he should approach it with confidence

Well done, Charlie, who wins 6-3 7-6.

So all 4 players do have a 1-1 record and Charlie plays Mrva in a winner takes all match. Who tops the group will depend on H2H record against the winner of the other match, probably, although tie break rules are something I havent tracked down! 

So both Brits have 1 all records and face winner take all final round robin matches for a semi place.

So both Brits have 1 all records and face winner take all final round robin matches for a semi place.


 FWIW, will H2H not apply to determine the winner in Charlie's group? If so, the winner of Charlie's match would only top the group if the other winner is the player they beat earlier.

 ah, yeah, probably - the ITF site doesnt seem to show the tie break rules but I guess that is what typically works in other similar events, so fair call - I guess the main thing will be getting a win and just getting through to the semis, for both Charlie and Mika. Let the semis look after themselves.

So in summary, Mika and Charlie have to win and if they do they are through to SFs?

 And it was - Mika won 6-4 6-3 this morning and takes the place in the semis. 

Well done to her, opponent to still be decided. Charlie plays in an Hour or two , match before him is in the first set still

Charlie won the first set 6-4 and 2 all second set

In the girls match, Samson took the opening set and is 3-0 up. If she goes onto win, her and Mika will be tied on 2 wins - Samson took their H2H match so it looks likely (as it stands) that Mika will go onto the semi with Emerson Jones.
