L32: Katy Dunne WR 347 v (Q) Seone Mendez (AUS) WR 1050 (CH 873 in Aug) 17yo Mendez is ranked 47 in juniors (CH 25 last year) and the winner of this match is likely to get top seed Liu (WR 159) in R2, though Liu lost to a player who has never been in the top 350 from a set up in R1 last week, so there are definitely wo...
