POULSHOT youngster Amelia Bissett helped Great Britain reach the finals of this year’s U14 Tennis Europe Winter Cup – the sport’s premier indoor junior team competition.
The 13-year-old, coached by Eve Hughes and Craig Procter at the University of Bath Sports Training Village, won five of her six matches as Britain made impressive progress through the weekend’s qualifying group stages in Pecs, Hungary.
Bissett and her teammates will now head to the Czech Republic for the finals on February 17-19.
Bissett won Britain’s opening match of the weekend – a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Johanne Christine Svendsen – then teamed up with Andrea Pineda to win the doubles 6-1, 6-1 as Britain wrapped up a 3-0 victory over Denmark.
The 3-0 win over Spain saw Bissett beat Maria Berlanga Bandera 6-4, 6-0 in singles before a 6-2, 6-4 doubles win with Pineda and doubles victory over Hungary.
