Match 1: Both girls had nervous
starts, but Wendy got her line quickly and had a
turkey and a double but suffered three open
frames. Five opens by Nadia and two doubles lost
her too many pins, so she has to win the next
two games against a formidable opponent.
What a change! Wendy struggled through with
spares and couldn't buy more than two strikes
whilst Nadia threw two turkeys despite two open
frames. She now seems much more focused and in
control.
Nip and tuck through the last game, mostly
nine-spares, but Wendy persevered and emerged
the victor, 192-162 and two games to one.
Match 2: A disappointing start from Isabelle,
French national champion for the past eight years.
It must be a long time since she rolled a game as
low as 143 in a championship match. Fiona cruised
to a comfortable 202.
A brace of 202 games gave Fiona the match over
just two games and a meet with the winner of the
upcoming match between Johnsson and Haugen.
Match 3: The stars of Scandinavia have a
healthy respect for each other's bowling and maybe
they're trying to psyche each other out in this
opening duel.
Helen came back with a bang in the second game,
stringing strikes to bowl the high game of the
day. Can she keep this impetus through the final
game?
No, she couldn't and she drops down into the fifth
to eighth positions as Ann gets through with a
179. Ann's brother won the World Cup in 2001, now
she has the ambition to win here in Slovenia.
Match 4: Lynda has come out with all guns
blazing with a 237, but Clair does not seemed to
be fazed, although now she has to win two games to
advance to the semifinals tomorrow.
What a comeback! Clair really wasn't fazed by the
power of Lynda and edged near to glory with a 244
to win by 11 pins and force the match into the
third game.
All credit to Clair for taking the American
champion to three games. Lynda kept her winning
ways with yet another great 200-plus and advances
to the semifinals to take on Wendy Chai of
Malaysia on Sunday morning. Return to Main Page
