Thomas Rayner beat team-mate Louis Price to win the Cadet Boys’ consolation singles final at the Spanish Junior & Cadet Open.
Rayner turned the match around in a pivotal third game, which he edged 12-10 having lost the first two games of the match. He finally prevailed with a scoreline of 3-2 (6-11, 3-11, 12-10, 11-5, 11-4).
Both boys, alongside Jie Fu Tham and Ben Piggott, had ended up in the consolation event after finishing outside the top two in their groups.
Tham went out in the last 16 and Piggott in the quarter-finals, both to the same opponent, Gonzalo Caico. Rayner then beat the Chilean in the semis to set up the tie with Price.
In the Girls’ Singles, the three English players also ended up in the consolation event, though Anaya Patel was unfortunate to do so as she won two of her three group matches, only to miss out on countback.
Millie Rogove went out in the first round of the consolation event, while Patel and Ruby Chan exited in the quarters.
In the doubles, Piggott & Price got through their first match against a Spanish pair but then went out 3-1 (11-9, 10-12, 11-5, 11-7) in the last 16 to fourth seeds Vladislav Bannikov & Denis Izumrudov of Russia.
Chan & Patel went out 12-10 in a decider in the first round, but Rogove and her partner Tereza Bartova of the Czech Republic got through to the last 16, where they were beaten 3-1 (11-8, 11-4, 11-13, 11-6) by seventh-seeded Russian pair Anastasiia Beresneva & Svetlana Dmitrienko.
