Mari Baldwin reached the last 16 of the WTT Youth Contender Villa Real event in Portugal and pushed the No 2 seed before going down in three games.

The Devon youngster won her group in the under-19 category with three victories out of three and then got past Adela Sazimova of the Czech Republic in the last 32.

That earned her a tie against Lian Qian Ser of Singapore, and Baldwin matched her for long periods before the world No 16 junior came through 3-0 (16-14, 11-7, 11-5). She went on to win the competition

Amy Marriott also reached the knockout stage, going out in the last 32 to third seed and world No 22 Ines Matos of Portugal, who was beaten in the semi-finals by Ser.

Jasmin Wong, Megan Jones, Scarlett Anders and Anna Green did not make it through the group stage.

Anders did reach the last 32 of the under-17 category, being knocked out 3-1 (11-6, 11-8, 7-11, 14-12) by Candice Lardinois of Belgium. Marriott won one of her group matches but she, Green and Jones went out in the groups.

The boys’ competitions start on Wednesday, with 10 English athletes in action.
