The drawings are right here.

The USA Girls’s 45s crew gained one other indoor sport, this time over hosts Japan. Japan upset prime seed France within the quarters and the USA beat a troublesome So Korea crew.

The sport was broadcast stay and I watched a bit of little bit of Hiromi Sasano’s sport in #2 and Julie Thu’s sport in #1 songs.

Hiromi bought off to a gradual begin, taking place 3-1 however dropping just one sport to win 2 singles factors 64 60. Hiromi performs with a uncommon, two-handled racquet. He teaches on the Balboa Tennis Membership in San Diego, and has three kids, two sons who play tennis and a younger daughter who continues to be learning. He’s a local of Japan.

Julie Thu gained 62 61 at #1 singles. I watched that sport lots. The match was a bit of nearer than the rating would point out, with a few deuce video games early within the second set. Julie’s opponent had patterns that she appreciated, particularly hitting deep after which utilizing a brief angle or dropshot. Nevertheless Julie could be very quick (and match) and has gained each level I’ve seen…however that did not cease Japan’s Hashimoto #1 from persevering with to attempt to rating factors by fall. Scores had been usually lengthy however Julie made only a few errors, utilizing two arms on either side (however serving left).

The USA now performs Germany, who gained 2/0 towards Nice Britain (the #1 singles sport appears to be a protracted battle, 75 within the third to Germany).

Because the matches had been performed indoors the place I believe the court docket area is small, the doubles weren’t performed, however Francesca La O and Julia Dimitrov had been cheering (and numerous crew members had been teaching) throughout the tie.

The Males’s 45 crew, taking part in within the 15-17 group, beat Estonia 2/0 as we speak. Trent Miller at #2 and Ross Duncan at #1 gained in straight units.
