Second seed lost in third round

Second seed lost in third round

JAKARTA (JP): Seeded players continued to fall victim to unseeded opponents at the Astra International junior tennis championships here yesterday, as Indonesian girls' singles second seed Wukirasih Sawondari crashed to defeat in her match against Enie Dominikovic of Australia.

Wukirasih staged a brilliant comeback after a first-set down, but it was not enough to fend off the attack-minded Dominikovic, who won 7-6 (7-1), 4-6, 6-2 for a quarterfinal berth. The unseeded Australian will now meet Japanese seventh seed Inoui Maiko who dispatched another Australian, Sarah Stanley, 6-4, 6-3.

But Lisa Andriani salvaged Indonesia's pride with her hard- earned 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) win over fifth seed Khoo Chin Bee of Malaysia. Lisa's brilliant run is facing an uphill battle, though, in the form of Bryanne Stewart of Australia, who vanquished Indonesian Federation Cupper and top seed Enny Sulistyowati on Wednesday. (amd)
