I think it'd be nice to have a thread to discuss Russian juniors' results! :D Most subforums have a junior-dedicated thread but I looked up and didn't find any there, which actually realy surprised me when you consider that Russia probably has one of the most prolific and substantial pool of talented young guns... ;)

A few youngsters alreday have their threads, but let's comment the results of the other ones here :cheer:

So this week is held a GA (highest grade of G18 tournaments, same grade as Slams actually) in Osaka. As important as the tournament is, the field is kinda weak for such a tournament, probably because of it's location...

There are 4 Russian players engaged in the MD there: 2nd seed Anna Kalinksya (who already possessed her own thread ;)), seed 8 Anastasia Gasanova, Elina Nepliy and qualifier Tatiana Makarova.

It's interesting to notice that Makarova is only 14 (born in 2000), she ended European #3 this year in G14 category (after the very dominent Potapova and Pervushina ;)). Big congrats to her on qualifying and good luck to the 4 of them in MD :cheer::cheer:

She lost 3 & 0 to Matviyenko :[ :hug:



Polina Golubovskaya (born 1999) qualified for 10K SES, her 2nd ever pro tournament. :yeah:

She had a bye in Q1, and beat Erika Vogelsang 2 & 3 in Q2. :)

R1 vs. (Q)Gaia Squarcialupi, davay! :armed::cheer:
Polinka beat Squarcialupi, 1 & 1. :yeah:

She's doing at least as well as in her 1st pro touney last June, 10K Kazan, where she lost in R2 to seed 2 and eventual champion Alena Tarasova, 3 & 3. :)

Great thread :yeah:, but as we also have the 'rooting for all the other russians' thread, how do we distinguish them? Or shall the Junior tournament results be updated here and the pro results in the other, to prevent us making double posts (apart from the players who already have their own thread)?

G14 Kremlin Cup is held this week and the draw is kinda packed. There are 6 Russian girls out of the 8 QFists (the 2 others are Belarusian). :)

Here are the QFs:

(1)Daria Solovyeva vs. Sofya Treshcheva

Ekaterina Shalimova vs. (5)Anastasia Kharitonova

Sofya Golubovskaya vs. (2)Sofya Lansere



I'm particularly interested to see if Treshcheva, who's been having some really good wins lately, will be able to take out top seed Solovyeva who's kinda stalling lately :bounce:
