  • +1

Team Bath MCTA Tennis player Alex Walker saw her women’s doubles campaign with Daneika Borthwick come to an end in the second round on Monday at the World University Games in Gwangju, South Korea.

Walker and Borthwick were facing the Russian pair of Veronika Kudermetova and Ksenia Lykina, the Brits battled from losing the first set 6-2 to win the second by the same scoreline.

That forced a match tie-break which the Russians won 10-2 to progress to the third round.

Walker, studying for a Masters in Business at the University of Bath, has another shot at success in the mixed doubles with Darren Walsh.
