Josephina Neumann (GER) vs Clea de Stoppeleire (FRA) | U19 SF | 2024 WTT Youth Contender Senec

At the WTT Youth Contender Senec (SVK), Josephina “Josi” Neumann met 18-year-old Clea de Stoppeleire from France in the semifinal (SF) of the Under 19 girls’ singles event. It was the second encounter between these two girls: The first one was won by the French in 2022. All results for Josephina Neumann (U19): Grp: Neumann vs N. Panholzer (AUT) - 3:1 Grp: Neumann vs Ponko (UKR) - 3:1 R32: Neumann vs Petery (HUN) - 3:1 R16: Neumann vs Huynh (FRA) - 3:0 QF: Neumann vs Guo Zheng (FRA) - 3:2 SF: Neumann vs De Stoppeleire (FRA) - 1:3 Just like during their first encounter two years ago, Clea de Stoppeleire won by 3:1. Even though Josi showed a good performance, the strong service game from Clea made a difference that could not be compensated by the young German. Still, it was good tournament for Josi after her shoulder injury. Congrats to the 3rd place result, Josi! All rights belong to WTT.
