The British contingent here for Grade 3 and Grade 2 events includes Natalie Beazant, who could enhance her chances of being in the US Open qualifying by good results here. Unusually for a Brit, her favourite surface is clay, which this tournament is played on.

I've heard of deducing the winner from the oop but how do you deduce such specific scores?
Occasionally in junior events a website will update an oop with scores. In this case the oop for most days have been edited with the scores, but no indication of the winner (ie all scores were 6-2 6-2 etc. rather than 2-6 2-6, regardless of the player order on the oop.) It was only possible to tell the winner from the next day's oop - several days' oops were in one XLS file, but Friday's oop has not yet been edited with the QF scores.
Good week though pushing the top seed - how high is Puig ranked?
Puig is a 1993 girl like Natalie, ranked 75, and it is their second close contest in a month. According to a poster on TennisForum Puig made the doubles final (with Natalie) as well, so there may be a title when the result of that emerges.
