Mari Baldwin’s top-20 position was the best finish by a young England squad at the Finlandia Open.

Baldwin finished 18th, ahead of a clutch of English players who finished in the 20s, with Emily Bolton 21st, Mollie Patterson 25th, Denise Payet 26th and Anaya Patel 28th out of 68 competitors. Charlotte Bardsley was 33rd, Jasmin Wong 36th, Erin Green 54th, Anna Green 58th and Rebecca Savage 67th.

In the men’s singles, Connor Green was the highest finisher for England in 54th place out of 84 competitors, with Felix Thomis 68th, Maxim Stevens 72nd, Ben Piggott 73rd and Toby Ellis 74th.

There were several matches between English players, including a 3-0 victory for Bardsley over Savage, and a close 3-0 (12, 9, 8) win for Payet over Patel. Patterson, who had earlier come from 2-0 down to defeat Chloe Thomas of Wales 3-2 (7-11, 9-11, 11-6, 14-12, 11-7), finished with another tight five-game win, over Payet, by a scoreline of 3-2 (11-8, 7-11, 9-11, 11-8, 12-10). Bardsley also had to fight to overcome Wong 3-2 (11-3, 4-11, 11-7, 8-11, 13-11).

In the men’s event, Piggott came from 2-0 down to get the better of Ellis 3-2 (8-11, 5-11, 13-11, 13-11, 11-9) in another tense encounter.
