No joy for England girls in Hungary

None of the four English players on duty at the Hungarian Youth Open were able to make it through to the main draw, with Denise Payet, Megan Gidney, Mollie Patterson and Mille Rogove all eliminated in the group stage.

Gidney and Payet both picked up one victory out of three in the Junior Girls’ Singles, but the others remained winless, although Patterson was unfortunate to lose two matches in deciding games. Rogove, who was playing up an age group in the Juniors, was also eliminated in the group stage of the Cadet Girls’ Singles.

Patterson & Rogove combined to win their first-round match in the Junior Girls’ Doubles, but went out in the round of 32. Payet & Gidney were defeated in the last 64 and, in the Cadet Girls’ Doubles, Rogove & Elvira Fiona Rad of Spain lost in a deciding game in the last 32.

In the team events, England picked up a good 3-2 victory over Norway in the Junior Girls’ groups, with Payet, Patterson and Gidney all picking up a win, but defeats to the host nation and Germany meant they were knocked out.

Rogove featured in the Cadet Girls’ Team event alongside Lavanya Maruthapandian of the USA, and the English girl picked up a good victory against Evelyn Ungvari of Romania, who she defeated 3-2 (11-8, 12-14, 8-11, 11-4, 11-9). But overall defeat in that match and against China meane the team went out.
