Beatriz Corrales in women’s singles was a headline maker, stunning sixth seed Julie Dawall Jakobsen 18-21 21-19 21-13.
The Spaniard was steady on her feet throughout, maintaining her focus while the Dane ran out of steam in the decider. After a spate of injuries and a lack of tournaments, Corrales did just enough to clinch victory.
“In the second second game, she was leading and I wasn’t feeling confident. But I pulled my focus back and she made a lot of mistakes in the third so it became easier to win,” Corrales said.
