Abbots Langley’s Amanda Elliott squandered two match points as she finished runner-up in the Condor de Plata junior tennis event in La Paz, Bolivia. The Queens Club based 17-year-old lost a nail biting final 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 to Japanese third seed Kurumi Nara. It was no walk in the park for the eventual winner, as a determined Amanda pushed her opponent all the way in the eventual tie-break decider. The Abbots teenager had earlier lead her Japanese opponent after taking the first set six games to three. An array of well placed shots in difficult windy conditions meant that Amanda would draw first blood in the South American final. Sadly, she could not maintain her solid form in the second set as her first serve percentage dropped, allowing Nara to grab the set by the same score line. The Japanese teen maintained her impressive form in the final and decisive set, as she opened up a comfortable 5-2 lead. However, a brave and resolute Amanda would save two match points and go on to force a nerve wrenching tie-break. A topsy-turvy decider would see Nara race into a 4-1 lead, only to be pegged back by Amanda, who had two match points at 6-4. Sadly for the Abbots teenager, she could not convert her chances and eventually lost the tie-break 9-7.
