Girls’ Singles

Top seed Ella Pashley struck gold at the third attempt as she beat second sees Sienna Jetha in the final.

Pashley was beaten by Jetha in the same final two years ago and by Tianer Yu last year, but she was the class act in the field this time, winning the title for the loss of only two games.

Jetha had come through several tests earlier in the competition, raising her belief, but Pashley was determined to get the title – her first National singles win – and won the final 3-1 (11-9, 11-7, 6-11, 11-6).

In the semi-finals, Pashley dropped a game for the first time in the competition but still got through, beating Mia Lakhani 3-1 (11-7, 11-8, 4-11, 11-5).

It was also four games in the other semi as Paralympic medallist Bly Twomey’s run came to and end, Jetha beating her 3-1 (13-11, 8-11, 11-5, 11-8).

In the quarter-finals, Jetha saved three match points – two in the fourth and one in the fifth – before getting over the line 3-2 (7-11, 11-9, 6-11, 13-11, 12-10).

That was one of just three incredible matches, including Lakhani coming from 2-1 down to beat Eva Eccles 3-2 (6-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-7, 11-7).

The other was a real thriller as Twomey eventually cracked Evie Knaapen in a pulsating match which ended 3-2 (13-15, 11-7, 11-8, 12-14, 12-10).

By comparison, Pashley was untroubled in getting past Mia Longman 3-0 (5, 2, 9).

In the first round, Knaapen superbly knocked out third seed Alyssa Nguyen 3-2 (10-12, 11-9, 11-3, 5-11, 11-7).

Lakhani had to come back from 2-1 down to beat Soraya Rahmani-Walentynska 3-2 (12-10, 10-12, 6-11, 11-6, 11-8).

Jetha, not for the first or last time, had to dig deep as she beat Luna Archard 3-2 (11-8, 9-11, 14-16, 11-8, 11-2).

Group stage

Brooke Morris was the main casualty as the fourth seed was eliminated after losing to both Soraya Rahmani-Walentynska and Julia Tokova in Group 4.

Tokova was the first to cause an upset, the third-ranked player winning 3-1 (11-8, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9), while Rahmani-Walentynska needed only three to prevail (8, 7, 8).

Rahmani-Walentynska, who is top seed in the Cadet age group, defeated Tokova in three (11-6, 11-7, 11-9) to top the group.

Third seed Mia Lakhani did not win Group 3, but still went through in second place behind Alyssa Nguyen, who beat her 3-1 (6-11, 11-7, 11-5, 11-4).

Paralympic medallist Bly Twomey rose from second to top in Group 6, thanks to a 3-2 (11-6, 13-11, 7-11, 7-11, 11-9) win over top-ranked Mia Longman.

Twomey’s defeat by Assil Sarri by a 3-2 margin (6-11, 12-10, 11-3, 5-11, 11-4) meant she and Longman finished with two wins each, so the head-to-head result put Twomey on top of the group.

The top two were also reversed in Group 5 as Sophie Ackred defeated Luna Archard 3-1 (8-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-6) – Ackred had earlier come from behind to beat Maisha Patel 3-2 (9-11, 11-4, 12-14, 11-5, 12-10).

Second seed Sienna Jetha had a moment of crisis in Group 2, saving two match points against Lianna Shilani-Tousi, who had come from 2-0 down to force a decider, which she led 10-8. But Jetha stayed composed to win 3-2 (13-11, 11-6, 8-11, 7-11, 12-10).

Shilani Tousi went through in second place with a 3-2 (11-4, 11-7, 9-11, 9-11, 11-5) win over Chui-Que Wong – the group had only three players following the withdrawal of Isobel Boyd.

No such problems for top seed Ella Pashley, who breezed through Group 1 without dropping a game and only conceded more than seven points in a game on one occasion. That was to Evie Knaapen, who followed Pashley through, as per ranking.

The order was also ‘correct’ in Group 7, which was won by Eva Eccles ahead of Catherine Lv – though Eccles was pushed by Serene Rahmani-Walentynska in the first match before winning 3-2 (8-11, 11-4, 11-6, 9-11, 11-5). Eccles defeated Lv 3-1 (12-10, 11-6, 9-11, 12-10).

The expected players went through from Group 8, Jonabel Taguibao in top spot and Millie Noble second, as it should have been on paper. The match between them was won 3-1 (11-5, 12-10, 7-11, 12-10) by Taguibao.

Boys’ Singles

Reigning Cadet champion and top seed Abraham Sellado beat fourth seed Rohan Dani in the final to add the higher age group to his growing list of titles.

He had to ‘win it twice’, Dani bravely saving three match points on his way to taking the third game, but Sellado was that little bit more consistent and triumphed 3-1 (11-3, 12-10, 10-12, 11-7).

Sellado had a close four-game match against Max Radiven in the semi-finals, the third game proving pivotal as he reached the final with a 3-1 (12-10, 7-11, 17-15, 11-9) victory.

Dani kept Hugo Nguyen at arm’s length in the other semi, winning it 3-0 (11-6, 11-9, 11-9).

Radiven had to fight back against Kacper Piwowar in the quarter-finals, coming back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 (12-14, 11-6, 4-11, 11-4, 11-4).

The other three quarter-finals were done in three straight, Hugo Nguyen beating Louis Cheung-Turner – who had a nasty collision with the table – 8, 7, 4; Dani coming through 4, 8, 8 against Zac Greenhough and Sellado defeating Isaac Kingham 9, 5, 6.

Back in the first round, Dani was pushed by Pablo Ramirez-Rioja before finally coming through 3-2 (9-11, 11-3, 11-6, 8-11, 11-7).

Piwowar also went to five, but overcame Adam Alibhai 3-2 (13-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-13, 11-7), while Sellado came back from losing the first game to defeat Prayrit Ahluwalia in four.

There was also a clash between the Nguyen twins from Plymouth, left-hander Hugo claiming the family bragging rights against Leo with a 3-1 (8-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-9) victory.

Group stage

Jake Davidson belied his status as fourth-ranked player in Group 7 to go through in second place behind top-ranked Leo Nguyen.

It all came down to a three-way countback, though, with Davidson, Wajid Wafiq and Parsa Yamin all winning once.

Wafiq beat Davidson 3-2 (11-8, 11-7, 6-11, 8-11, 12-10), Davidson defeated Yamin 3-1 (11-6, 8-11, 12-10, 11-3), and Yamin saw off Wafiq 3-1 (11-9, 11-9, 9-11, 11-8) – with Davidson getting the mathematical verdict.

Dimitar Dimitrov rose from third to second in Group 2, beating Harry Randall in an enthralling match 3-2 (11-9, 11-13, 10-12, 11-8, 13-11) – both players had match points – to join top-ranked Abraham Sellado in qualifying for the knockouts.

There was a similar outcome in Group 6, where Ryan Goodier defeated Janak Shah 3-1 (11-9, 11-6, 9-11, 13-11) to take second place away from the higher-ranked Shah. Goodier needed five to defeat Fraser Massey (8-11, 11-6, 8-11, 11-5, 11-4) in an earlier match. Top-ranked Kacper Piwowar won the group without dropping a game.

Louis Cheung-Turner won Group 1 from second place, overcoming Prayrit Ahluwalia 3-0 (11-8, 11-9, 11-6) – Ahluwalia also went through.

Max Radiven went through with no alarms from Group 3, but was joined in qualifying by third-ranked Hugo Nguyen, who got above Angad Saggu thanks to a 3-0 (7, 4, 8) victory.

Saggu also lost to Aidan Lees by an eye-catching 3-2 (11-7, 18-20, 13-11, 9-11, 11-8) scoreline.

No problems for Rohan Dani in Group 4, who did not concede a game as he topped the group ahead of Aarav Parihar, winning their meeting 9, 7, 6. Parihar also went through, though he needed five to beat Shahuraj Nimse 3-2 (8-11, 11-5, 11-5, 11-13, 11-7).

It was also all as expected at the top of Group 5, Isaac Kingham winning ahead of Pablo Ramirez-Rioja – it was 3-1 (10-12, 11-5, 11-6, 11-6) to Kingham when they met.

Ramirez Rioja needed five to beat Ryan Holland (11-3, 6-11, 11-6, 11-13, 11-9) – Holland himself beat Harrison Hill in five.

Zac Greenhough and Adam Alibhai progressed as expected from Group 8, Greenhough winning their clash 3-1 (11-4, 9-11, 11-5, 11-7).
