Just watched the highlights on youtube.

Katie's forehand looked massive. Very good performance. She is a brilliant prospect.

There's no one in the draw I fear for her now. But sport it a funny old game.

 Thanks for the heads-up Myrfyr; pretty impressive highlights reel biggrin

Katie sure seems to know how to hit the corners of the court with pace!

 Tornado Black will be the big favourite to win the singles.

 I think Black's the favourite as well, but I don't think she's unbeatable.

Its looking a very interesting competition with a number of excellent prospects likely to see a lot of each other over the next decade. Has Bellis just not decided to enter and completely committed to main tour?

Black obviously in a strong position regarding age and experience but youngest Russian who blew Brogan away looks likely to be too good to be playing Junior GS at 16. Watching their development is as interesting as watching the main tour!

A lot of very strong players. Agree that Ms Swan has a really pretty forehand, though! Best of luck to her today.

Yes, although Katie is the highest seed (of 2) left in the draw that is of course only part of the picture with the younger ones just appearing on the radar on an apparently meteoric path and the older ones like Black (world #3 last year) having largely left junior tennis behind them; that said, Katie's own progress is pretty impressive and if she can keep landing those big serves (ideally in more often though!) and big groundies she has more than a decent chance of going all the way this week. Go, Katie :)

 Definitely.

A slow start for Katie (or probably fairer to say a fast start by her opponent) but Katie does well to hang on in game three and get to 1-2*

Katie breaks back for 2-2

Kuzmova looks really weak when having to run for the ball but good when she doesn't

Katie 5-4* as I go into a meeting - hoping for good news when I come back!

Far too many errors from Katie's racket since 5-4 in the first set. I hope she can reign them in and get that forehand / serve combo firing!
