Of the 4 Orange Bowl events (the under 12s and under 14s start next week) the under 16s is regarded as the least prestigious. There was 1 Brit last year and 2 the year before, so none isn't much of a surprise.
Some testing matches in round 1 for the three girls here. Izzy and Lana are on court now with contrasting fortunes. Izzy leads 7-5 4-1 against a girl with 2 10K finals (albeit at home in Kazakhstan) whilst Lana trails 1-6 2-3 . Emily plays a girl who has won 3 10K's this year (ranked just outside the top 500)
