Jadishmukar Downs Top Seed Cardwell
There was a couple of surprises in the quarters of the Victoria Open on
Friday, but none were bigger than Malaysia’s Yasshmita Jadishkumar
taking out the women’s top seed Sarah Cardwell, and she did so
comprehensively.
Jadishkumar, the 17-year-old Malaysia, took on Australia’s Cardwell,
sitting 120 places below the home favourite in the World Rankings.
However, an incredible performance saw the World No.200 take the victory
in straight games, winning 11-8, 11-9, 11-2 to book her place in the
semi-finals of the Challenger 5 level competition.
The young Malaysian will now face Hong Kong’s No.4 seed Wai Sze Wing in
the last four, while Japan’s No.2 seed Akari Midorikawa and Hong Kong’s
Toby Tse, both of whom already have titles to their name this month,
will go head-to-head in the other semi-final.
There was also a surprise in the men’s event, with Malaysia’s Bryan Lim
Tze Kang, the No.5 seed for the competition, beating Australia’s No.4
seed Nicholas Calvert in a four-game battle. Kang will now face top seed
Lwamba Chileshe in the semis, while younger brother Temwa has the tough
task of Australia’s Rex Hedrick, the former World No.48.
The semi-finals of the Victoria Open will take place on Saturday, July
16, and will see the last four remaining in both draws go head-to-head
for places in the finals on Sunday.

Preview
Victoria Open
For the third week in succession, the Challenger Tour features an event
on Australian soil. Following on from the City of Greater Bendigo
International and the City of Greater Shepparton International will be
the Victoria Open this week, which will feature both a men’s and women’s
Challenger 5 level tournament.
New Zealand’s Lwamba Chileshe, who has three titles to his name already
this season, will be the top seed in the men’s event, with younger
brother Temwa as the No.2 seed, as he aims to win for the first time on
Tour. Australia’s Rex Hedrick, who has finished runner-up at the
tournament in its last three editions, and Nicholas Calvert make up the
rest of the top four seeds, with the likes of France, Hong Kong and
Malaysia also represented in the draw.
For the third week in a row, Australia’s Sarah Cardwell and Japan’s
Akari Midorikawa will be the top two seeds. The Japanese No.2 won in
Bendigo, while No.3 seed Toby Tse took the victory in Shepparton just a
couple of days ago. She will be joined by compatriot Wai Sze Wing in the
top four seeds.
