I didnt see this thread until now. Nice results, but obviously players do not take it very serious!
There's probably not much $$ involved?

Especially good results for Simona I & Andreea G tho

Sabina is on fire!

Ilka and Irina in the Final?

[Curcubeu]

First they are split into two groups with four players where they have to face each other.

And there is actually not such a thing like a final because it is just a selection for the upcoming European U16 tournaments. In the end, the two girls who are on top of both groups will represent Romania's tennis juniors on clay.

No doubt that Bara and Csoregi will be part of the team!

Not realy, they are in one group (a round robin tournament) playing against eachothers. The one who has most victories wins.

Hmm, very interesting to see Ilka losing a match. That means Andreea must have some game. I am going to follow her too if I get the chance.
It looks like a 3 or 4 player race now.

[Curcubeu]

Andreea is quite talented, but she barely played any tournament till now. I'm convinced that she will qualify, too!

On the other hand, Ilka doesn't seem to play her best when she has already lost 4 games to Simion...
