| No luck for Jillie at Yonex All-England |
|
Edinburgh’s Jillie Cooper did well to reach the final round of qualifying in two events at the Yonex All-England Super Series in Birmingham – but she couldn’t quite make it into the main draw. In the mixed, Cooper and England’s Chris Langridge scored a battling 10-21 22-20 21-9 victory over Edinburgh’s Emma Mason and England’s Andrew Ellis. But the pair then lost out 15-21 17-21 to Japan’s Hirokatsu Hashimoto and Mizuki Fujii. In the women’s doubles, the 21-year-old Scot partnered England’s Samantha Ward to a 21-6 21-12 win over the Canadian duo of Michelle Li and Anna Rice. They then faced another couple from Canada in Grace Gao and Joycelyn Ko. They lost the opening game but looked set for a fightback when they surged into a 14-11 in the second. But Gao and Ko won the next seven points in a row to run out 21-13 21-16 winners. |
