Katy lost 5-7 6-3 5-7: the scores, but not the results are on the OOP, but Katy's opponent is playing tomorrow.

Well spotted - I had used the drawsheet for the results, as the ITF don't have them, but neglected to look at the oop.  Disappointing result, but being able to play little tennis in the past 3 months she will probably take a little while to find her form.

Excellent from Kyria. A win from Abbi Melrose will put two Sussex girls into R3.

I suppose the 3rd seed might be a bit much to ask of Kyria on paper, but junior girls rankings can sometimes be a bit misleading.

Abbi fulfils your wish The third seed, Pia Konig, has played against a number of Brits in the last year with mixed success, but given she took a set off Jennifer Ren and beat Jo Horne another win for Kyria would be a very good result

Equally disastrous for the girls as boys, with only Emma/Morven's result unknown - the rest lost in singles and doubles
