Girls: Wimbledon 2015, grass - Grade A (Week 27)

The qualifying draw is out and surprisingly Gabi Taylor has not been given a main draw wildcard. Apart from Katie Swan and Maia Lumsden, who are direct entries, Emily Arbuthnott (if required), Freya Christie, Jodie Burrage, Ali Collins, Lauryn John-Baptiste and Anna Brogan would appear likely to have gained main draw wildcards. Jasmine Asghar draws the same top seed as in Roehampton

(1) Ioana Diana Pietriou (ROU) v (WC) Jasmine Amber Asghar

(2) Destanee Aiava (AUS) v Georgina Axon

(WC) Elise Van Heuvelen v (16) Berfu Cengiz (TUR)

Eden Richardson v (11) Lesedi Sheya Jacobs (NAM)

(4) Ioana Minca (ROU) v (WC) Georgie Walker

(WC) Emily Appleton v (9) Ludmilla Sanasonova (ITA)

(WC) Eliz Maloney v (10) Panna Udvardy (HUN)

(7) Yue Yuan (CHN) v Gabriella Taylor

(WC) Holly Hutchinson v (14) Karola Patricia Bejenaru (ROU)

 Surprised Taylor wasn't more competitive bearing in mind she must have been close to receiving a main draw wildcard.  Good luck to the rest of the girls yet to play today.

It is the first time I can recall the draw being made before qualifying was scheduled to end, and the first time I am aware of that not all wildcards were used - which makes it more puzzling why Gabi ended up in qualifying (they allocated 7/8 WCs with 5 to Brits + Tornado Black and Anastasia Potapova). Emily and Katie are both in the second quarter, which doesn't appear to be the strongest. Very unlucky to draw all three non-Brit semifinalists from Roehampton (Dalma Galfi going on to win). Freya will be up against second seed Shilin Xu in round 2 if both win their openers.

R1 (L64)

(1) Marketa Vondrousova (CZE) v (WC) Anna Brogan
(WC) Ali Collins v Sofia Zhuk (RUS)  Ct 6 match 1
Emily Arbuthnott v Olivia Tjandramulia (AUS)
Seone Mendez (AUS) v (5) Katie Swan
(Q) Jodie Anna Burrage v(Q) Lucie Wargnier (FRA)
Maia Lumsden v (3) Dalma Galfi (HUN)
(WC) Lauryn John-Baptiste v Ingrid Neel (USA)  Ct 6 match 3
(WC) Freya Christie v Olesya Pervushina (RUS)  Ct 11 match 4

I am watching Ali play for first time. She's playing well. Just little lapses of concentration from time to time that Zhuk takes advantage of. 2 - 3* in 2nd set

Ali lost 6-4, 6-3 but played well.

A rare chance to see Freya, currently on the BBC livestream, 1-1 first set...

Watching Freya. She is playing just about OK at the moment. It looks like the girl who couldn't get a single game off her in Roehampton learnt a lot. She is 5-2* up. That's junior tennis for you.

Some uncharacteristic errors from Freya to surrender the first set  6 - 2. But I must say her opponent is playing well. Unleashing some aggressive shots to take it.

Freya lost but got a terrible line call in that last game on break point (which would have put her back on serve). Awful - I know it's junior tennis but with tv cameras and slow-mo replays it just highlighted how bad some of the officials are. I also watched Lauryn John-Baptiste and she got a poor call late in the match on a crucial point. Pity.
