Was Emily down for a Junior event that was cancelled and just stayed on?
Otherwise it's interesting scheduling.
I remember Anna Brogan doing something similar some years back, touring South America, and doing rather well; but she kept on running into Andrea Koch-Benvenuto in the draws and the Chilean won every match, Anna just couldn't avoid her in draws, it was like magnetism.
But, I wonder why Emily has opted to play in Argentina. Well, may she not have a similar nemesis - Koch-Benvenuto is not in the draw, I checked!

I don't see any likely South American ITF junior tournaments around this time. In fact the only one I see above a Grade 4 in August or September is a Brazil Grade 3 from 25/09. She is on the qualifying list for the Mexico 100K+H next week, which of course is right next door - not.

I have commented on Emily's propensity to turn up in South America before, wondering if anyone knew of any particular reasons. I had a look at her junior and senior activity since the start of 2016 and we have:

15/02/16: Juniors - Chile Grade 2
22/02/16: Juniors - Argentina Grade 2
29/02/16: Juniors - Paraguay Grade 2
07/03/16: Juniors - Brazil Grade 1
14/03/16: Juniors - Brazil Grade A

15/08/16: Seniors - Colombia 10K
22/08/16: Seniors - Colombia 10K

31/10/16: Seniors - Colombia 10K

06/02/17: Juniors - Brazil Grade 1
13/02/17: Juniors - Brazil Grade A

11/09/17: Seniors - Argentina 15K

So yes, the February / March juniors and the 2016 time was a fair run, but also other South American visits. Plenty opportunity anyway to meet up with the Colombian girl she partnered in the US Open juniors.

When looking at Emily's activity I was struck that she does get around and play a tournament or two. Seems to be an Emily thing !

From activity in the ITF junior and senior pages ( including WTA )

2016: 35 tournaments ( 22 junior, 13 senior )
2017 so far: 22 tournaments ( 11 junior, 11 senior )

Competed in 18 counties in these 2 years. Apart from Europe and the Americas, that also takes in Australia, Japan and Indonesia.

And just turned 18 ( on September 1st ). See the world they say !

I think it's a lot to do with her Dad. Who either likes traveling himself. Or likes her to travel. (And is not short of cash).
I also feel that they have been very much targeting points, particularly junior, (which I don't really agree with but hey). And so have had to follow the sun, so to speak.

Interesting information, thanks all.

I can't decide whether Sra. Amicuzi is a friendly machine-pistol heiress, or a friendly hot-tub heiress...
Either way, shedidn't give our wanderlust seed much trouble, dismissed as she was, by Ms Appleton, in exactly one hour. 6-1 6-1

Well you will like her next opponent even more blob, a magician's apprentice. Though personally I would have preferred the fabulously named Delfina Glorioso. However she failed miserably against the sleight of hand.

L32: (6) Emily APPLETON (GBR) 898 beat Maria Jazmin AMICUZI (ARG) UNR 17yrs 6-1 6-1
L16: (6) Emily APPLETON (GBR) 898 vs Ana GELLER (ARG) UNR 15yrs (CJR:396)

Ms. Appleton next faces a barely 15 year old Qualifier, JWR 396. It may prove to be a profitable decision to journey to the Argentine capital. (It's inside the San Lorenzo stadium complex, for those familikar with the Primera División)

Michael has furnished and supplemented the information already, whilst I was messing with Google Maps

It is quite a wonderful name. Let's hope Emily has the magic words.

She might be only just turned 15, UNR, and only JWR 396 but I'm assuming that Ana Geller is the younger sister of Axel Geller, JWR 2, runner-up in the US Open Juniors, runner-up at Junior Wimbly, winner of the doubles title, and winner at Roehampton.

I know it doesn't necessarily mean much, and she's very young, but I'm guessing that young Ana can play a bit.

 Exactly, magician's apprentice
