The under 18s will have their own thread (no draws shown yet), but draws are up for the lower age groups including a number of Brits. Jake Hersey, Harry Butler and Jack Draper are seeded in the under 16s and Barney FitzPatrick in the under 14s plus Will Jenkins in the under 12s, while on the girls side Kylie Bilchev and Emma Raducanu are seeded in the under 14s. Draws at http://tennislink.usta.com/Tournaments/TournamentHome/Tournament.aspx?T=189340#&&s=7Draws7
I see Anton Matusevich is seeded 2 in the boys under 16 and Irish!!
Thanks - I missed him with the nationality error (common problem with Tennislink draws). Max Basing is the only British boy to survive round 1 in the under 14s, while our one under 12 entrant was double bagelled.

Jake battled his way through and we have an intriguing semi between Jack and Anton. It will almost certainly be on one of the courts you can view from the above link, but the oop here does not usually indicate which court. The drawsheet (link above) will update later today with the time of the match - some time Friday afternoon GMT
