However, she demonstrated resilience by bouncing back in the consolation matches, clinching two straight-set victories and ending the tournament on a positive note.
Among the cadets, Thomas Binois was placed in a challenging group of four. He started strong with a three-set victory in his opening match and later received a walkover in his second.

However, a few lapses in patience led to critical errors, ultimately costing him the set.”
