Crack Wairarapa age group tennis player Sade Atkinson has achieved some excellent results at the Air Pacific Open junior championships in Fiji.
Atkinson defeated the fourth and 14th seeds on the way to making the quarterfinals of the singles, losing to her Kiwi doubles partner Bridget Liddell in three sets. Atkinson took the first 6-3 but lost the next two 4-6, 3-6.
The doubles saw Atkinson and Liddell defeat the second and third-seeded combinations on the way to the final where they lost to the top seeds 1-6, 6-7.
These results were by far the best achieved by Atkinson to date on the ITF junior circuit and she will now take part in a Queensland tournament, starting on July 10.
