Sarah Thomas reached the Last 16 of last week’s Slovenian Badminton Open. In a tough draw Sarah was leading against the tournament’s top seed 9-4 before Tvardy (Slovenia) retired with an injury. In the Last 16 Sarah lost in a close match to top Austrian player Mayer 20-22 17-21. A good performance for Sarah who is in the middle of A level exams.

In the doubles Sarah Thomas and Carissa Turner played their first Badminton Europe event together at the weekend and very nearly reached the final stages. Only a close loss against the top seeds and eventual winners 23-21 and 21-19 stopped them.

They will now look to build on this great start when competing in the upcoming Spanish Badminton Open
