POULSHOT teenager Amelia Bissett helped Great Britain U14 Girls to a fourth-placed finish at the Winter Cup Finals in the Czech Republic.

The 13-year-old Team Bath player, a pupil at Ralph Allen School in Bath, won three of her six matches during the weekend, including both the singles and doubles during a 3-0 victory over Turkey in the first round.

GB were beaten by a strong Russia side in the semi-finals and went down 2-1 to Italy in the third-placed play-off but finished on a high note as Bissett and Andrea Pineda won their doubles match 6-4 6-1.

Pete Martin, Tennis Operations Manager at the University of Bath, said: “The experience of playing against the very best players in Europe is one which Millie thrived on, providing excellent experience of tough competition in unfamiliar surroundings.

“Millie has just finished competed in four of the toughest level U14 events in Europe and has made improvements along the way, showing she is comfortable in these surroundings.”

Bissett will now move on to four weeks of ITF competitions during April, where she will compete against older players at U18 level.
