Junior Fed Cup Final: Top seed Russia demolished Indonesia 3-0



The second Round Robin ties of the Junior Fed Cup by BNP Paribas continued at La Loma Centro Deportivo in San Luis Potosi, Mexico on Wednesday (September 30, 2009). In Group A, top seed Russia was too strong for Indonesia as the Russian girls crushed Indonesian team 3-0. Russia secured 1-0 lead after Ksenia Kirillova cruised past Cynthia Melita 6-1, 6-4. Then Daria Gavrilova won the second rubber as she battled past Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing 6-2, 7-6(3). In the final rubber, duo Daria Gavrilova/Polina Leykina edged past Indonesian pair Cynthia Melita/Grace Sari Ysidora Tobing 6-4, 6-4.

Indonesia is currently last in Group A by only winning 1 match and losing 5 matches. In third Round Robin tie, Indonesia will face Croatia and it is going to be another heavy task to do.

In Group B, Japanese girls maintain their strong performance but it has been interesting to witness that Japan's "ichiban" player and Torrance, California born Emi Mutaguchi has been playing only in doubles. It is likely based on her weak results compare to Akiko Omae, then Mutaguchi has been off-duty in singles. Today (September 30, 2009) Tokyo resident Mutaguchi turned 16 years old.
