Patricia SANTOS prevailed against no. 6 seed

In the Under 19 Girls Singles Event at the ORLEN European Youth Championships in Gliwice the no. 6 seed Agathe AVEZOU of France faced a tough challenge in the Round 64 against Patricia SANTOS of Portugal. She lost in five games (9 7 -5 9 9).

SANTOS made it difficult for AVEZOU known for her defensive style of play.

Reflecting on her victory SANTOS mentioned “It was very difficult for me to play against a player with a defensive style. I had to be patient and stay calm throughout the match. This notable win is the first significant success I have achieved in international competitions.”
