Boys & Girls: 32nd Torneo Internazionale "Citta' Di Santa Croce" Mauro Sabatini - Grade 1 (Week 19)

A late withdrawal from Andrew Bettles, presumably not recovered from whatever caused his retirement last week, leaves just James Marsalek and Jennifer Ren in this strong tournament. James will do well to progress beyond the first round against an opponent who recently won a Grade 2 title. Boys R1 (...
