This girlllll needs a thread. Just recently won an ITF junior title in Europe, won Asia/Oceania closed junior championship, won a platinum AMT and has just won her first 25k main draw match.

R32 Lizette Cabrera (AUS) def Ayu Fani Damayanti (INA) 6-4 6-2



Very impressive for a 1997 girl. Naiktha has a rival.

I love it when players randomly step it up and go on a streak like this. Interesting to note that she won't turn 15 for another 3 months.

Keep it up.

Never heard of her but this is wonderful really wonderful........well done to Lizette!

Lizette has now won 2 matches in the doubles draw, with Tjandramulia, and is into the SF

I wonder how many 14yos have WTA doubles rankings??

They play Tyra/Tammi for a spot in the final.

Okay I couldn't help myself and had to check.

There are only two 1997 girls with WTA doubles rankings at the moment:

#843 Francoise Abanda (CAN) 5/2/97 - Like Lizette, she also made the SF of a $25K
#1138 Arina Folts (UZV) 1/1/97

Lizette is much younger then them with a DOB of 19/12/97. Olivia Tjandramulia is also younger than both girls who are already ranked with a DOB of 11/5/97.

Go girls!

Esperance R1:

(Q)Lizette Cabrera def. Mai Minokoshi 5-7 6-3 6-2

Another great win for Lizette and her second over a top 400 player. She also won the Esperance Pro-Am tournament last week. She next faces a girl from TPE who beat Sanders in R1 after Jones withdrew.

[AYUMI-GOAT]

She looks like shes from an Asian heritage, although 'Cabrera' isn't really an asian name.

[scottsue]

she looks Pinay (Fillipino) to me.

[Dani12]

Filipino is the only one that makes sense given the Philippines Spanish history.

Still a nice tournament for her. Really impressive that she's winning matches in pro events as a 14 year old To be honest I never really heard much about her before she won the GB2 in Fiji. It'll be interesting to follow her results. She seems like a genuine prospect, along with Naiktha Bains. Lizette is just two days younger! Naiktha and Lizette are currently both ranked #979 on the WTA. Together they are the two youngest girls (and the only players under 15 years old) with a WTA ranking!

I'm guessing that Lizette will get a MWC into Australian Open juniors next year so that'll be exciting.

Hi guys, new Lizette fan here

I didn't heard of her before that GB2, but she had amazing results since then.
I love the fact that she's Pinay and I also love her name Plus, she's super cute

It looks like after a few pro experiences, Lizette is going back to juniors. She's on the entry list of 2 tournaments in Korea Rep: a G2 + the Asian/Oceania GB1. I wish her the best of luck

[Dani12]

She might be able to have a crack at AO juniors MD. She should end the year top 100, or at least I hope so

This week Lizette qualified for $25K Margaret River before losing 6-4 6-2 to (8)Katerina Kramperova (CZE). She beat Priscilla Hon in one of her qualifying matches, another young Aussie hope

She's in pretty good form at the moment, let's hope she does well in the junior events in Korea
