Koharu ITAGAKI of Germany remained unbeaten at the close of day two in the Under 15 Girls’ Singles Event at the Europe Youth Top 10 in Tours, France. Last year’s champion Hanka KODET of Czechia kept the pressure on, but with one defeat against Alexia NODIN of France on the opening day, she sits in third place behind the French representative.

Top seed ITAGAKI continued her perfect run with victories over Siri BENJEGÅRD of Sweden, Nil BASARAN of Turkey, and Mariia LYTVYN of Austria.

NODIN also enjoyed a strong second day. She began with a confident win over Croatia’s Lana BENKO and followed with two more straight-game victories against Poland’s Wanessa KULCZYCKA and Sweden’s BENJEGÅRD.

KODET, holding just one defeat after six rounds, also produced a solid performance. She recorded wins over BASARAN, LYTVYN, and Spain’s Renata SHYPSHA, confirming her place in the chasing pack.
