Mollie Patterson and Millie Rogove won their second bronze medals of the tournament, while Connor Green was also on the podium at the Portugal Junior & Cadet Open.
Having reached the semi-finals of the Junior Girls’ Doubles, Patterson and Rogove repeated the feat in the Team competition, alongside Faith Tung of the USA.
Along the way, they faced familiar opponents in the shape of twins Patricia and Natalia Ianau, who represent London Academy and were here in the colours of Romania. Patterson beat both as England-USA won 3-1 in the group stage.
They also overcame Spain III and a Netherlands-Portugal-Tunisia composite and then, in a close quarter-final, Netherlands. Patterson and Rogove both completed vital 3-2 victories in that match, with Tung then taking the decisive win.
However, a 3-1 defeat to Spain in the semi-finals meant it was to be the bronze medal.
That was the same accolcade for Connor Green, who was competing alongside Leonardo Iizuka Kenzo of Brazil. They won their group with relative ease and then defeated Portugal II 3-2 in the quarter-finals, as Iizuka Kenzo won his two singles and the boys combined in the doubles.
In the semi-finals, they went down 3-1 to a Belgium-Peru combination, teaming up to win the doubles from 2-0 down.
The other England Cadet Boys – Ben Piggott & Felix Thomis and Sajad Ali competing with Octavian Aparaschivei of Romania, went out in the group stage. Piggott picked up good wins against Denmark and Chile-Mexico, but England lost both 3-1.
In the Junior Boys’ Team event, the England line-up of Joe Cope, Ethan Walsh and Peter Smallcombe picked up a good win over Eucador-Puerto Rico but were defeated by Chile-Moldova, while David Gofton and Josh Weatherby, partnering Patrick Skarsholm of Denmark, defeated Netherlands 3-1 (Gofton winning once and Skarsholm twice) but were beaten 3-0 by Spain II.
In the Cadet Girls’ Team competition, Amy Marriott and Erin Green had a tough draw and were beaten 3-0 by both Spain and France, although there were some close matches. Anna Green competed alongside Brazil’s Beatriz Fiore and they beat Portugal IV 3-1, but lost 3-0 to Spain IV and Malaysia.
Meanwhile, in the Cadet singles and doubles events, there were also some good results for English players.
Piggott and Connor Green both made it into the main draw of the boys’ singles, with Green beating the fifth seed, Rogelio Castro of Mexico, 3-0 in the last 64. He went out to the 10th seed from Romania in the last 32.
Sajad Ali and Felix Thomis went into the consolation singles and Thomis fought through to the semi-finals thanks to two determined 3-2 victories. He was then defeated by Viktor Oksfeldt of Denmark. Ali picked up a good win in the last 32 and was then edged out in the last 16.
Marriott, Erin Green and Rogove all went through to the knockout stage of the Cadet Girls’ Singles, with Green then beating 11th seed Ines Goncalves of the host nation in the last 32.
Both Green and Rogove were defeated in the last 16, Green by third seed Nicole Arlia of Italy and Rogove by Veranika Varabyova of Belarus, who was ranked one place below her in the ninth seed position.
Anna Green won one of her three group matches and went out in the last 16 of the consolation singles.
In the Cadet Girls’ Doubles, Erin Green & Amy Marriott reached the quarter-finals, as did Rogove alongside USA’s Tung.
Green & Marriott beat the eighth seeds 3-2 in the round of 16 and then went out to the fourth seeds from Belarus in the quarters, again in five, while Rogove & Tung were defeated by the second seeds from Italy, who went on to win gold.
Anna Green, playing alongside Fiore again, went out to the third seeds in the round of 16.
Piggott & Thomis won their first match in the Cadet Boys’ Doubles, but then went out in four to the seventh seeds.
