Wednesday was the day two top-seeded players bit the dust at the … in Pretoria, as the unseeded Jade Pondicas (GE) bt U18 No. 1 Veronique Luksich, and U14 favourite Lenice van Eyk lost to Zarah Razafimahatratra, but U16 and 12 top seeds Welma Luus and Theresa van Zyl won through to the semi-finals.
The results make for a thrilling final in the U18 and U14 divisions, where an unseeded player will raise the trophy, but both Pondicas and Rasolomalala have looked strong in a run-up to the U18 final, with strong victories carrying each forward to the tournament decider.
