A testing day for Bongo Noredi but door to main draw still open<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Inspired performances, as matters commenced in the individual events at the 2019 Ghana Junior and Cadet Open on Wednesday 3rd April, they were very much the order of the day.<\/p>\n
In particular, Saudi Arabia\u2019s Salem Alsuwailem, alongside Remi Wei-Chambet of the Netherlands and India\u2019s Arnav Manoj Karnavar emerged the players to stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n
Salem Alsuwailem caused the biggest upset of the day, he accounted for England\u2019s James Smith, the no.2 seed (11-13, 11-7, 11-7, 11-8); next in the pecking order came Remi Wei-Chambet, he overcame Congo Brazzaville\u2019s Rabby Kasota, the no.4 seed (12-10, 11-6, 8-11, 13-11).<\/p>\n
Fine performances, it was the same from Arnav Manoj Karnavar; he caused Congo Democratic more problems, he showed no charity when facing Josue Olenga, the no.6 seed, a straight games win was the order of proceedings (11-6, 11-8, 11-1).<\/p>\n
Defeat but for James Smith and Josue Olenga it was their only reverse of the day; thus second place and progress to the main draw is very much an option. Alas for Rabby Kasota, there is no such possibility; additionally he was beaten by Nigeria\u2019s Azeez Solanke (11-5, 11-7, 11-4) who like Remi Wei-Chambet concluded the day without a loss against his name. Azeez Solanke and Remi Wei-Chambet now meet to determine first place.<\/p>\n
Surprises in the group stage of the junior boys\u2019 singles event, there was one further upset of note; Nigeria\u2019s Emmanuel Augustine beat Congo Democratic\u2019s Noredi Bongo, the no.4 seed (11-3, 11-8, 11-3), eventually ending the day unbeaten. Meanwhile, for Noredi Bongo, his aspirations of progress to the main draw remain alive but only just; in his one further contest of the day, he accounted for India\u2019s Mainak Nistala but it was close, he needed the full five games (4-11, 11-7, 11-13, 11-8, 11-1) to ensure victory.<\/p>\n
Noteworthy performances and perhaps they overshadowed the efforts of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Khalid Alshsareif, like Congo Democratic\u2019s Christian Mbongia, the no.7 seed; he concluded the day unbeaten, as his fifth-seeded place predicted. Most significantly, he achieved the same outcome in the cadet boys\u2019 singles competition where occupied the top-seeded spot.<\/p>\n
In addition, in the cadet boys\u2019 singles event, Congo Democratic\u2019s Exauce Ngefuasssa alongside Arnav Manoj Karnavar and Indian colleague Mainak Nistala enjoyed a day without defeat. A scenario that applied in the mini-cadet boys\u2019 singles event; of those required to raise their racket in anger, it was success for Ghana\u2019s Ibrahim Gago Nuhu alongside the Congo Democratic trio comprising Neredi Bovaji Mutshu, Eli Malola and Marc Tshilenge.<\/p>\n

In the Girls division, both India\u2019s Diya Parag Chitale and Nandeshwaree Jalim enjoyed success as the junior girls\u2019 singles event.<\/p>\n
Both completed their first phase matches unbeaten; thus in first place in their respective groups and a passport to the main draw acquired.<\/p>\n
However, there were surprises; in particular, the efforts of Nigeria\u2019s Sukuarat Aiyelbegan attracted the attention.<\/p>\n
Competing in three events, she ended the day unbeaten; first place in the mini-cadet girls\u2019 singles group was as expected, she was the top seed. In the remaining disciplines, she upset the pecking order.<\/p>\n
In the junior girls\u2019 singles event, after accounting for Ghana\u2019s Matilda Fodu (11-6, 11-7, 8-11, 11-13, 11-5), she beat Congo Democratic\u2019s Gloria Dianda, the no.4 seed (11-1, 11-1, 11-1). Meanwhile, in the cadet girls\u2019 singles competition, following success in opposition to India\u2019s Ananya Chande (11-13, 11-9, 10-12, 13-11, 11-9), she took a further liking to a Congo Democratic adversary by overcoming Julie Kayembe (11-1, 11-4, 11-5).<\/p>\n
Defeat for Julie Kayembe, it was the same for colleague Lily Dinanga with whom she shared the no.2 seeded spot; likewise she suffered at Nigerian hands. She was beaten by Sadiat Alimat Akeem (11-3, 11-5, 11-1), a young lady who will celebrate her 11th birthday on Thursday 4th April and duly topped her mini-cadet girls\u2019 singles group.<\/p>\n
Notably, for both Gloria Dianda and Lily Dinanga, it was their only defeat of the day; thus second place and progress to the main draw is still possible; for Julie Kayembe, progress is a forlorn cause. In her opening contest of the day she was beaten by Ghana\u2019s Joanna Amissah (11-4, 9-11, 11-9, 11-7).<\/p>\n
Performances to note as was that of the host nation\u2019s Sandra Arhin, she ended the day unbeaten in the mini-cadet girls\u2019 singles event, a situation that applied also to England\u2019s Ruby Chan; the no.5 seed in the junior girls\u2019 singles competition and the cadet girls\u2019 singles top seed.<\/p>\n
Play in the individual events continues on Thursday 4th April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
