Dinara de Silva in action
Promising Dinara de Silva kept the Sri Lankan flag flying at the ITF Junior Week-2 Tennis Tournament when she reached the quarter-finals of the Girls’ Singles event at the SSC Courts in Green Path yesterday.
The 13-year-old was leading 5-3 when her rival and the bottom seed Veda Raju of India retired during the first set.
Dinara will now meet another Indian opponent, sixth seed Durganshi Kumar in today’s quarter-finals of the tournament.
However, Sri Lanka’s other competitors at this event Chathura Nilaweera, Vishmi Serasinghe and Saajida Razick all bowed out from the second round of the Boys’ and Girls’ Singles event.
