Also in the Under 11 Boys’ Team event, the Costa Rican duo of Alejandro Montoya and Emanuel Rivera excelled. They finished in first place in their group ahead of the top seeded Chilean partnership formed by Felipe Alvarado and Gabriel Flores.

Meanwhile, in the Under 11 Girls’ Singles event, a player to catch the eye has been Peru’s Karla Mendoza.

In the first stage of proceedings, she beat Arianna Estrella 11-5, 11-6, 6-11, 11-5) and Shary Muñoz (8-11, 11-6, 11-7, 11-7) to guide her team to a three-two win against the top seeds, the top seeded Dominican Republic duo.

A fine effort from Karla Mendoza but just as Alejandro Montoya and Emanuel Rivera excelled as a unit, in the Under 11 Girls’ Team event, it was Ecuador’s Maybelline Menendez and Fiorella Olaya who caught the eye. They finished in first place in their group ahead of Costa Rica’s Sofia Perez and Lucia Zavaletta, the no.2 seeds, recording three-nil wins on every visit to the table.
