Day 6 - Despite Ongoing Rain, Matches Proceed as Scheduled

Players faced sporadic rain during today's singles semifinals and doubles finals. They adapted to the ever-changing conditions and were fortunate to remain on the clay courts instead of moving matches indoors as they did last year.

Two singles matches took place today: Kayla Cross vs. Kajsa Rinaldo Persson, and Maria Mateas vs. Akasha Urhobo. Akasha Urhobo defeated the top-seeded Maria Mateas in her semifinal match, winning 6-4, 6-3. The second match went three rounds, with Kajsa Rinaldo Persson emerging victorious 2-6, 6-1, 6-1. The singles final will take place at 9:30 am on Sunday, with sunny skies expected to wrap up the week.

The doubles final was a North American showdown with Ashton Bowers and Mia Yamakita, both representing the US, facing Kayla Cross from Canada and Jaeda Daniels from the US. Despite the rain pelting down on the clay, quick footwork, smart play, and consistent communication led Kayla Cross and Jaeda Daniels to secure the win 7-6(3), 7-6(2).
