[R2] Nidhi Chilumula (IND, 857) d. Tamara Barad Itzhaki (ISR, UNR) 64 61
2 other R2 matches were postponed to tomorrow due to rain.
Excellent win by 18 year old Jennifer.Like Nandini, Jennifer has played in Europe - Turkey and Romania all this year- playing qualifying week in and week out. She has 1 main draw win at $15K and qualified thru to a $25K once which gives 1 point each. So, I think she will get into rankings now.

Rain played spoilsport? Rutuja joins our girls for week 2. And Riya is not in the entry list for week 2 but still entered for week 3.

Yes, rain washed out entire day's play today. Not even second round matches are completed with Saturday approaching here.
Not only Rutuja, Pranjala and Zeel also join next week.

Yikes! For some reason, I thought both Pranjala and Zeel are in week 1 already.

Close loss for Jennifer against a player ranked close to top 500. She looks to be another talented teenager coming up.
Riya's QF will be continued tomorrow. If she wins that QF and the SF later in the day, she may have to play the final tomorrow itself ( weather permitting)

Riya was leading 6-5 in the first set trying to serve out for the set when the final was suspended and will be started tomorrow morning.
