Beaten but unbowed, was Sachia Vickery’s disposition after  suffering  elimination   in the  women’s singles of the U.S. Open tennis tournament yesterday.

The 17-year-old  player of Guyanese parents played her heart out but was outduelled by  the more experienced Julia Glushko, going down in straight sets 7-5 6-3 yesterday in the second round  on Court 4 at the Billie Jean King Complex, New York.

“I think I played really well this tournament but got nervous towards the end of both sets,”  Vickery told Stabroek News
