From the New Zealand tennis federation:

"Lee beats Top Seed
Shona Lee had the biggest win of her junior career when she beat top seed Lara Giltinan in the second round of the Oceania Junior Championships in Lautoka, Fiji. Lee played a smart first set taking it 6-3 but was then outplayed by Giltinan's big forehand in the second. In the decider Lee pestered the sometimes suspect forehand and the Australian made a string of mistakes and in the end could barely hit a forehand in the court losing the set 6-0."

Main Draw, 2nd round:

Shona Lee (NZL) BT Lara Giltinan (AUS) 6-3, 1-6, 6-0
Julianne Welford (AUS) BT Sacha Jones (NZL) 6-1, 6-2
Daniella Dominikovic (AUS) BT Shannon Golds (AUS) 6-3, 6-3
Olivia Lukaszewicz (AUS) BT Bianca Smith (AUS) 6-3, 6-0
Dubravka Cupac (AUS) BT Johanna Morrison (AUS) 6-2, 6-3
Bojana Bobusic (AUS) BT Ewa Losinski (AUS) 6-2, 6-4
Marina Erakovic (NZL) BT Melissa O'Keeffe (NZL) 6-0, 6-2
Jessica Engels (AUS) BT Lara Picone (AUS) 6-2, 4-6, 6-3

lol Eggy...I know, same deal when I saw her last year. When it works, it's a very good shot.
(When it works.lol)

Steve, when you see her play you will notice the grip she uses. Doesn't seem to hit with any topspin (very flat) and sends the ball flying if it's not executed right. With more experience she should be able to get it going.

Go Dani :D Dubs ;) Olivia and Jess.

Hoping for a Dani v Dubs final...

Quarters:

Lee (NZL) BT Welford (AUS) 6-0, 7-6 (what a good week for Lee!)
Lukaszewicz (AUS) BT D. Dominikovic (AUS) 6-3, 6-0
Bobusic (AUS) BT Cupac (AUS) 4-6, 6-1, 6-2
Engels (AUS) BT Erakovic (NZL) 2-6, 6-3, 7-5

From Tennis New Zealand:

"Shona Lee continued her fine form upsetting another seed to move into the semifinals of the Oceania Closed Championships in Lautoka, Fiji. Today she beat eighth seed Julianne Welford 6-0 7-6(2). Shona squandered a series of match points at 5-3 and 5-4 but then fought back strongly in the tiebreaker.
Marina Erakovic was favoured to win her quarterfinal against Jessica Engels (AUS) but lost five games in a row, and four match points to concede the match 7-5 in the third set. Few other matches were completed bcause of two rain delays totalling eight hours meaning that Erakovic did not finish her match until about 9.30pm"
