Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 12, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Lauren Williams and Aaliyah Powell having one more roll of the dice as they attempt to qualify for Paris. Both are entered into the Qualifying Tournament for the Grand Slam Champions Series Final. They need to reach the quarter finals in order to progress to the Grand Slam Champions Series Final. Williams is the 6th seed and will face 27th seed Arina Sagayadachnaya in the round of 32. If she comes through that, she will probably face 11th seed Junhong Liu. Powell has been a bit unfortunate with her draw as she is up against 4th seed Cecilia Castro Burgos of in the round of 32. Nickyc707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad look for Powell, who arguably has the form to come through the whole process. ~Are they both fighting at the weight between Jones and McGowan?

Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 13, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Very cagey and low scoring first fight from Powell but she overcomes Castro Burgos to make it to the round of 16. Williams also makes it through - but it was messy and resembled wrestling towards the end. She only won the second round when her opponent picked up her 5th Gam-Jeom. Based on their first bouts, Powell looks to have strongest chance to get through to the Series Final. Now I might try and catch some sleep before the afternoon session.

Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 13, 2023 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2023 In a repeat of her round of 32 result, Williams progresses to the quarter finals when her opponent picks up her 5th Gam-Jeom. Not sure about Powell yet - she was leading her match when the video feed cut out Nickyc707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 13, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Williams through to the semi-finals with arguably her best match so far, taking out 3rd seed Milena Titoneli. Nickyc707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 13, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Powell's great form continues as she too makes it into the semi-finals after a tight match against 12th seed Ozoda Sobirjonova Nickyc707 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted December 13, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Both Brits bow out in the semi-finals but have done enough to qualify for the Champion Series Final. Nickyc707 and mpjmcevoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
