The Mexican GA has moved from Christmas to join the North American autumn circuit. Live scoring is promised at http://www.tennisticker.de/MEX/14MEX1101/sb.html with a live stream viewable via http://www.itftennis.com/news/191087.aspx Katie Swan is on the live stream and leads 6-0 4*-3
Thanks for the stream link. Watching Katie play just confirmed what I already believed. She has a LOT of potential. Her serve and forehand are already major weapons, and the rest of her game is solid.
Maia should be first up on the stream tomorrow. I'm particularly happy about this, seeing as the only other time I've seen her play was at Wimbledon against Michaela Gordon, and it didn't leave me with a good impression.

Both Maia and Katie B were unable to sustain rallies and play anywhere near their capabilities on that day, which wasn't a great advert for our top girls, but hopefully you were happier with what you saw today. She may well be on the streamed court again tomorrow, given she is playing the top seed (US Open champion) and there is only one Mexican left in the girls draw.
Maia was on the streamed court - albeit fairly briefly - while Emily probably wished she could have played the 8th seed again. Katie & Maia (with separate partners) play doubles quarters later
