This tournament is open to the top eight players under the age of 20 who have earned the most points in a year. Participants will be divided into two groups of four and compete in a preliminary round robin, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals. The match format will be a 5-set match of 4 games.
Tien, who was the runner-up in last year’s tournament and is ranked 28th in the world and has already won on tour at the age of 20, was seen as the top candidate to win this tournament. However, in the first match held on the 17th, he suffered a come-from-behind loss to No. 7 seed R. Hodal (Spain) and started with a loss.
In the second match against 19-year-old Randalluse, ranked 134th in the world, Tien lost the first set, but gradually found the flow and won the second and third sets. In the fourth set, she converted her fifth match point and won the match, keeping her hopes of advancing to the semi-finals.
The other second match was also held on the same day, with 5th seed N. Budkov Kea (Norway) defeating 7th seed Hodal 4-1, 4-2, 1-4, 4-2.
Also in the Red Group, third seed D. Prismic (Croatia) defeated eighth seed J. Engel (Germany) 4-1, 2-4, 4-3 (7-3), 4-1, and second seed A. Brox (Belgium) defeated sixth seed N. Vasavalady (USA) 4-3 (7-2), 4-3 (10-8), 4-1.
