Not a good start to the tournament as several Brits, including Evan Hoyt, Jonathan Cornish, Sam Hutt and Joshua Page all lost in qualifying. Lucy Brown was a finalist here last year, and is seeded to repeat that.
Boys R1 (L64)
Kyle Edmund (GBR) v Rakshay Thakkar (IND)
Girls R1 (L64)
(11) Francesca Stephenson (GBR) Bye (WC) Namita Bal (IND) v Katy Dunne (GBR) (2) Lucy Brown (GBR) Bye
Kyle gets a good win over a similarly ranked opponent, but needs another to score any points. He has teamed up in doubles with the Australian Open finalist Sean Berman, who could in theory represent South Africa, Australia, New Zealand or the USA, but is currently listed as the latter.
Katy's reward is a crack at the fast rising German who reached the quarters in Osaka, but lost out to Eleanor Dean in the Luxemburg final
Boys R1 (L64)
Kyle Edmund (GBR) d. Rakshay Thakkar (IND) 6-4 6-4
R2
Kyle Edmund (GBR) v (15) Wishaya Trongcharoenchaikul (THA)
Girls R1 (L64)
(11) Francesca Stephenson (GBR) Bye Katy Dunne (GBR) d. (WC) Namita Bal (IND) 6-2 6-1 (2) Lucy Brown (GBR) Bye
R2
(11) Francesca Stephenson (GBR) v Xuanshuo Ou (CHN) (12) Katharina Lehnert (GER) v Katy Dunne (GBR) Ai Wen Zhu (CHN) v (2) Lucy Brown (GBR)
kyle continues his hot streak, and dodges dodgy weather, quite a few high seeds gone, and his potential next opponent (4th seed) is tied at one set all
R2
Kyle Edmund (GBR) d (15) Wishaya Trongcharoenchaikul (THA) 7-6(4) 6-4
Lucy's ranking will take a hit after a loss to an in-form Japanese girl, but Fran has the opportunity to scalp another top 60 player. Katy and partner upset the top seeds in the doubles
R3
(11) Francesca Stephenson (GBR) d. (Q) Gaelle Rey (SUI) 6-1 6-3 (14) Nao Hibino (JPN) d. (2) Lucy Brown (GBR) 7-6(2) 6-4

(1) Lin Zhu (CHN) v (11) Francesca Stephenson (GBR)
