Syarifah moves on, Sutjiadi falls

Chandigarh, India (01/10/2011). From "India ITF Juniors - 1" which is an ITF Grade 3 tournament held at hard courts of Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association Tennis Stadium, two Indonesian players Nadya Syarifah and Aldila Sutjiadi posted different outcome in the opening round (draw 32).

Both top Indonesian junior players are not seeded and they had to bear with cold weather with temperatures range from 5 to 10 centigrade. Syarifah as per last week (January 3, 2011) reached her best rank at ITF 227 and today she defeated local wild card and currently ranked at ITF 683 Aishwarya Agrawal (best rank at ITF 187 as per January 4, 2010). In the first set Syarifah had to work hard to earn 7-5 lead then in the second set she managed to improve her game and closed it out 6-2 over Agrawal. In second round Syarifah will face local 8th seed Ratnika Batra who was successful to end tough battle over Japanese Sanae Ota 7-5, 7-5.

Meanwhile Sutjiadi (ranked at ITF 265) could not play at her best as she bowed out to local Kanika Vaidya (ranked at ITF 223) 1-6, 4-6. Sutjiadi is now focusing on doubles with Syarifah and they will challenge third seed local duo Prarthana G. Thombare and Vaidya in the opening round.

Top seed Russian Anna Tyulpa (ranked at ITF 95) made a good start with a win over local player Shweta Rana (ranked at ITF 290) 6-2, 6-4.
