Having continued her consistency from last week, into this week’s competition, Dinara reached the final with an unbeaten record, as she overcame Karolina by 6/3 and 6/4 to claim an easy win in the Girls’ Singles final. She had a successful stint on the way to defending the title by recording wins against Chae Won Moon of South Korea in the second round, So Yuna also of South Korea in the quarter-final and Hinata Wada of Japan in the semi-final encounter. The win was Dinara’s third ITF Championship title.
