Nadia Ravita, a Jakarta resident, claimed her spot into round 16 at "El Paso Youth Tennis Center ITF Tournament 2009" an ITF Grade 5 tourney which is held at El Paso Youth Tennis Center in El Paso, Texas, USA. In second round (round 32) on Tuesday (October 20, 2009), Ravita, daughter of former national players - Hawin Sutopo and Luky Tedjamukti - did not have any trouble to defeat local qualifier Sydney M West 6-2, 6-1.
