In her first match, she defeated Stanislava Saveleva 6-0, 6-1 and sent Elisabeth Dunac packing with an impressive 6-2, 6-0 win on Thursday.
With this development, Edwards who is on a four year deal at the Nick Bolleteri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida on the bills of the Temple Management Company (TMC), may cause an unprecedented upset in the girls’ U-12 category.
