Price reaches main draw; consolation gold for Davies

Louis Price reached the main draw and Rhys Davies beat Ben Piggott in the consolation singles final at the French Junior & Cadet Open.

Price was the only English player to reach the main draw of the Cadet Boys’ Open, with two group wins, and he was beaten 3-0 (11-7, 11-7, 11-7) in the last 64 by 15th seed Ted Li of the United States.

Piggott can consider himself unfortunate to have missed out on a place in the main draw, having also won two group matches, including a big win against Russia’s Sergei Ryzhov, who he beat 3-2 (12-10, 10-12, 11-7, 4-11, 11-6).

However, the Stockton player lost out on a three-way countback and ended up in the consolation singles alongside compatriots Davies and Thomas Rayner, who both had one group victory.

Rayner went out in a deciding fifth game in the last 16, but Davies and Piggott both beat all opponents to set up a match against each other in the final. It was Cadet National Cup champion Davies who prevailed in three close games, winning 12-10, 11-8, 11-7.

In the Cadet Girls’ Singles, both Anaya Patel and Mari Baldwin went out in the group stage, though Baldwin picked up a good 3-2 (11-9, 11-3, 6-11, 4-11, 11-4) win over Dutch opponent Anna Peters.

Patel went out in the last 16 of the consolation singles to the eventual winner Svetlana Dmitrienko, while Baldwin reached the quarter-finals, going out 3-1 (11-9, 11-9, 10-12, 11-7) to Clea de Stoppeleire of France.

In the doubles, Patel & Brianna Burgos of Puerto Rico defeated 15th seeds Anastasiya Radzionava & Vera Volkava of Belarus 3-0 (11-7, 11-8, 11-7) in the round of 32 and were then defeated in a close match in the last 16, losing 3-1 (12-10, 9-11, 12-10, 14-12) to third seeds Hana Arapovic of Croatia & Malamatenia Papadimitriou of Greece.

All the other pairs involving English players went out at the first hurdle.
