In the Ladies Singles Round of 16 of the GBTI Independence Jubilee Open Tennis tournament,
Rebel Open Finalist Cristy Campbell made light work of the young teenager Sarah Klautky defeating her in straight sets 6-1, 6-1 in latest action. Campbell, who is a very consistent retriever, never gave Klautky opportunities to make winners and this caused much frustration for the young player who clearly ran out of options.
In the top half of the draw, the 15yr old baseliner Shivani Persaud also held her ground in the Quarters to wipe out Fiona Bushell 6-2, 7-5, where she will meet in the semis, last year’s Champion Nicola Ramdyhan who out-powered Kalyca Fraser 6-1, 6-4.
This evening starting at 5:00pm will feature many highly anticipated matches. The bottom half of the Ladies Singles category will come alive with two major clashes. Campbell, who is noted for her high level of fitness, will play last year’s finalist and young powerhouse Afruica Gentle and Coach Shelly Daly will play top junior Aretta Dey. Later in the evening, Men’s 35s Champion Godfrey Lowden will take on the persistent veteran Harry Panday in what can be considered an old rivalry and Coach Leyland Leacock will challenge US Diplomat Albert Razick in an attempt to book their places in the finals.
