Julie Byrne wins Riga ITF

What an uplifting result from Julie Byrne last week after she won the singles title at the ITF event in RIGA, Latvia. Following a great round up of matches, Julie overcame the number 2 seed, Angelika Shapovalova, 62 62 in the semifinal. Julie played a three setter in the final to secure the singles title against opponent Lila Humaloja from Finland, 75 57 62. This is a great win for Julie and deservedly so after such hard work and commitment to her tennis training.

Congratulations Julie!
