Loveridge came 17th overall in the singles in Singapore

Guernsey's Alice Loveridge has won her opening game in the plate of the table tennis mixed event at the Youth Olympics in Singapore.

Loveridge and team-mate Leonardo Mutti are representing Europe 3 in the event.

The pair lost two of their three games in the first stage on Tuesday, but fought back to beat Intercontinental 3 in the plate on Wednesday.

Loveridge won her singles game against Lily Phan 3-2, while Mutti beat Luis Mejia 3-0 in his game.

In stage one of the draw on Tuesday, the 16-year-old Sarnian and Mutti beat Africa 2 before suffering defeats to Europe 1 and Europe 4.

That put the pair into the plate competition of the draw, where they opened with a 2-0 win over Intercontinental 3.

Loveridge and Mutti ended stage two of the competition on Wednesday afternoon with a 2-1 against the Pan America 2 team of Pablo Saragovi and Carelyn Cordero.
