Malamates Papadimitriou with her Finnish teammate, Marina Doner, achieved a marginal victory in the first round of Lao’s WTT Feeder, went on top of the top octave and on Thursday will exhaust their chances for a bigger step.
Earlier, our left -handed champion had suffered the defeat in the first round of simple women, and on Monday it was excluded in the qualifiers of the double mixed. Papadimitriou and Doner participate with a Wild Card in the women’s double and were directly on the main ’16’ dashboard. On Wednesday afternoon there was a very solid showdown with the Malaysian Lee Ying IM/Chang Lee Sian (number 8 in the tournament). They were back 1-0 and 2-1, but found the solutions at the most difficult points and with a steady performance prevailed in five sets (5-11, 11-6, 8-11, 11-8, 11-7)
The two athletes continue their efforts on Thursday, and in the octave they meet the Korean twin Lee Daeun/Lee Seojin, which is number 7 in the seeding of the race.
The simple women had a knockout match from the beginning due to the small number of entries. He became a “64” board with 46 athletes and, of course, many bye in the start.
Papadimitriou (No. 312 in the World Women’s Ranking) faced Chiang Janel from Singapore’s first round for the first round (No. 518). Although at the age of 15, the Asianist is very worthwhile and our champion had a picture of her game and her value, as she had met her two days before in the double mix.
The first two sets were balanced, but were lost with a little difference. In the third, Chiang performed better and reached the final 3-0 (9-11, 8-11, 5-11).
