1st day


Pune: Qualifier Naomi Cavaday of England downed eighth seeded Sai Jayalakshmi in straight sets 6-2, 6-4, while second seed Thassha Vitayaviroj of Thailand accounted for unseeded Sonal Phadke in a tight match 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-1 and moved into the pre-quarterfinals of the fifth NECC-ITF international women's tennis here on Monday.

Naomi, a hard-hitting left-hander, needed two breaks to wrap up the opening set 6-2. She broke Sai in the fifth and the seventh games.

The seasoned Indian player, ranked 608 in the world, committed three double faults and suffered reverses.

The second set saw Naomi slam three aces to upset the rhythm of Sai and broke her in the third game and went on to claim the set and match 6-4.

Thassha excellent


Thassha produced some excellent ground strokes, but Sonal was equally strong in the area and the rivals were locked in long rallies. They were neck and neck at 6-6. Thassha, however, served strongly in the tie-breaker, and won 7-2 to lead 1-0.

Sonal, a finalist at the DSCL Open at Delhi recently, bounced back and produced forehand winners to restore parity and pocket the second set 6-4. The decider saw Sonal tamely losing 1-6.

The results (first round, main draw, Indians otherwise specified): Rushmi Chakravarthi bt Arthi Venkataraman 6-1, 6-2; Pichittra Thongdach (Tha) bt Vandana Murali 6-1, 6-1; Naomi Cadavay (GBR) bt Sai Jayalakshmi 6-2, 6-4; Geeta Manohar bt Vishika Chettri 6-7 (7-5), 6-1, 6-3; Shruti Dhawan bt Karishma Patel 6-1, 6-1; Ksenia Sidorova (Rus) bt Rebecca Fong (GBR) 6-3, 7-6; Nicole Clerico (Ita) bt Krushmi Chheda 6-2, 6-2; Czarina Arevalo (Phi) bt Jie Zeng (USA) 6-1, 6-0; Shweta Solanki bt Parija Maloo 6-2, 6-3; Natasha Khan (GBR) bt Sagarika Phadke 6-0, 6-2; Ksenia Palkina (Kgz) bt Prerna Mythri 6-3, 6-2; Thassha Vitayaviroj (Tha) bt Sonal Phadke 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 6-1. — UNI
