Josie Kuhlman is 15 years old and has not played a senior ITF or WTA match before. Indeed, she is only 15th in the Florida under-16 rankings and has a junior ITF ranking of 811, a ranking she got to mainly by reaching the Final of a G4 in Atlanta last October. Her mother may well be Caroline Kuhlman, who played the slams in the early 1990s and whose last win on the tour was against a Brit, Jo Durie.

One would expect so - her opponent has a junior career high of 783.
Meanwhile her potential round two opponents have gone into a 1st set tie-break after 70mins playing time. Hopefully they will continue to wear each other out.
