Denise Payet beat the sixth seed to reach the last 32 of the Junior Girls’ Singles at the European Youth Championships in Romania.

The Enfield player humbled Andrea Pavlovic of Croatia 4-1 and seldom looked in much trouble, except when losing the third game.

Unfortunately, Payet was defeated in the next round by Sweden’s Ellen Holmsten, going down 4-1, but she remains in the Junior Girls’ Doubles competition after, alongside Germany’s Sarah Mantz, defeating Spanish pair Alba Fernandez & Ana Maria Vertiz in three straight to reach the last 16.

She again faced Pavlovic, who is partnering Hungary’s Fanni Harasztovich, for a place in the quarter-finals, but this time the result was reversed as Payet & Mantz were beaten 3-0 (11-9, 11-6, 13-11).

That defeat today ended England’s representation at the event, as the other remaining players had seen their singles and doubles runs come to an end on Sunday.

Charlotte Bardsley & Clara Bardac (Croatia) were knocked out of the Junior Girls’ Doubles in the last 32 by the ninth-seeded Polish sisters Anna & Katarzyna Wegrzyn, while Jasmin Wong & Ruby Chan also went out to Polish opposition in the Cadet Girls’ Doubles, losing 13-11 in a deciding game to Katarzyna Krolikowska & Anna Brzyska in the last 32.

Both Wong and Chan were knocked out by seeded players in the last 64 of the Cadet Girls’ Singles. Chan went out four straight at the hands of second seed Elena Zaharia of the host nation, but Wong gave 20th seed Ulyana Alkhouskaya of Belarus a battle before losing in the sixth.

Joe Clark and Bardsley each won through one round of their respective singles consolation events before being knocked out.
