Unfortunately Ewan's result has been reversed, but if the tournament's FaceBook page has got it right today all three of our players left in the draw won through. However the second seed awaits Jonathan, while Ryan only got one game against Riffice last week and Emily's opponent won her last (G2) event
Boys R2
Ryan James Storrie d. (15) Alex De Minaur (AUS) 6-1 6-4
Jonathan Gray d. (13) Louis Wessels (GER) 2-6 6-3 6-1
R3
Sam Riffice (USA) v Ryan James Storrie
Jonathan Gray v (2) Marcelo Tomas Barrios Vera (CHI)
Girls R2
(9) Emily Arbuthnott d. Haruna Arekawa (JPN) 6-3 6-3
R3
(7) Anastasia Gasanova (RUS) v (9) Emily Arbuthnott
Emily squeaks through a tight match, and should gain a Special Exempt for Roland Garros in the process. The qualifying draw for RG is out, without Emily, and there appears to be only one player left in the singles here with precedence for an SE over Emily.
Boys R3
Ryan James Storrie d. Sam Riffice (USA) 6-1 6-4

Ryan is a talent and it's no surprise he is doing well. I'd put him down as very solid, especially defensively rather than a shot maker.
have you actually seen him play ? Live?
I know that he's completely changed his regime and training since moving back to the UK and it's having a major impact on his game (although I've only seen streams so I'm going off hearsay and what I've been told).
Great show by both him and Emily A (a tough ask for Ryan though if it's Ymer - although don;t know Ponwith - he may be even better!).
Ymer and Ponwith are both tough asks. Ponwith is the kind of player, based on what I've read from Colette Lewis, who would be getting quite a lot of attention were he not in the same cohort as Mmoh, Tiafoe, Kozlov, Paul, et al.
Edit: Typing that, I actually wonder whether some of the younger US boys and girls are underranked as a consequence of the country's having such a strong group of players that it's been hard (until some of them started playing seniors) to make an impact in the big US junior tournaments. Indeed, briefly looking at the ATP rankings, the USA 17 to 19s include more than a dozen in the top 1000 (figures unspecific because I was going quickly and may have missed some) starting with Jared Donaldson, already at 153 and rising.
