Larry Trumpauskas and Jakub Piwowar both reached the last 16 of the WTT Youth Contender Linz in Austria – Trumpauskas losing to the world-ranked No 8 Cadet.

Both boys, along with Ralph Pattison, made it through the group stage of the Under-15 Boys’ Singles. Pattison, at his first WTT event, went out in the Round of 64 to the world No 66 Cadet Mateusz Sakowicz of Poland, fighting hard in the second and third games but going out 3-0 (11-1, 12-10, 12-10), but both Piwowar and Trumpauskas marched on through the last 64 and last 32 to take their places in the Round of 16.

Trumpauskas (pictured above), also at his first WTT event, was up against fourth seed Julian Rzihauschek of the host nation and, after a slow start, gave a good account of himself before losing in four.

Piwowar, No 27 on the Cadet list, took the first game against Emanuel Otalvaro of Colombia (WR 61), but saw his opponent hit back to win in four, notably taking a pivotal third game 13-11.

In the Under-19s, Josh Bruce went out in the group stage.
