Girls: 2015 Australian Open, hard - Grade A (Week 4)
Permalink  

The draw for the Australian Open places Katie Swan in the same section as top seed Shilin Xu, but she has a decent draw in the opening round (Jade Lewis did scalp a top 50 player last week though). Maia Lumsden faces the tricky prospect of home hope Kimberly Birrell, a semi-finalist here last year and finalist in the G1 warm-up last week. Katie is first up on court 11 whilst Emily is third on court 10

R1 (L64)

(Q) Jade Lewis (NZL) v (14) Katie Swan

Chihiro Muramatsu (JPN) v Emily Arbuthnott

(6) Kimberly Birrell (AUS) v Maia Lumsden

Those are, broadly speaking, pretty rotten draws for our two strongest players. Hope that the young women can overcome them.

Good result and both wins will improve on her ranking points and potentially move her up the junior rankings again.
