GB’s Anna Hursey continued her rich vein of form by winning her second successive WTT Youth Contender Under-19 Girls’ Singles title.

Welsh athlete Hursey (pictured above) was seventh seed at the event in Metz and went through the whole tournament without dropping a game, culminating in a 3-0 (11-8, 11-6, 11-5) victory over Wu Ying Syuan of Chinese Taipei in the final.

Her opponent was fourth seed and is the world ranked No 18 Junior, nine places above Hursey, who beat second seed and world No 13 Junior Wu Jia-En, also of Chinese Taipei, in the semi-finals.

Several English players were also in action in Metz and Tianer Yu, ranked No 106 world Junior, was drawn in the same group as Hursey – the Welsh athlete won their meeting 3-0 (11-4, 11-8, 11-7) but Yu still went through to the main draw as group runner-up.

She beat the higher-ranked Matilde Pinto of Portugal in the round of 32 but then went out to Heo Yerim of South Korea, the top seed and world No 3 Junior, in the last 16.

Connor Green saw a 2-0 lead evaporate as he went out in the last 16 of the Under-19 Boys’ Singles to Marcel Blaszczyk of Poland.

Blaszczyk, the fifth seed, is ranked 22 places above Green at No 26 on the world Junior rankings, and he turned around the match to win 3-2 (9-11, 5-11, 11-3, 11-8, 11-8).

Joseph Hunter and Rohan Dani both went out in the last 64 to higher-ranked opponents.

In the under-17 Boys’ Singles, Abraham Sellado went through as a group winner and Kacper Piwowar and Dani as runners-up.

Piwowar and Sellado went out in the round of 64, Sellado losing out 12-10 in the fifth to Matt Closset of Belgium and Piwowar going out to world No 43 Junior Nathan Pilard of France.

Dani got through his first-round match and then went out in four games in the round of 32 to South Korea’s Lee Seungsoo, the top seed and world no 4 Junior.

Pablo Ramirez Rioja, Ryan Goodier and Jake Davidson went out in the group stage.

In the Under-15 Boys’ Singles, third seed Sellado reached the round of 16, where he was beaten in four by Nolan Johnston of France. Piwowar and Ramirez Rioja both reached the round of 32, the latter losing out to top seed Jan Mrugala of Poland.

In the under-19 Mixed Doubles, Sellado & Hursey formed an eye-catching partnership and they won through three rounds to reach the quarter-finals, where their run was ended by Lin Chin-Ting & Peng Yu-Han of Chinese Taipei in a three-game match in which the first two games went to deuce.

Hunter & Yu went out in the round of 32 to South Korean pair Lee Jungmok & Choi Nahyun, who were then beaten by Sellado & Hursey in the next round.
