Some nice wins so far and Fran is in a proper battle. Hope she can close it out.

CH win for Francesca, and first top 300 victory

Great win from Fran there :)

That sets up a fairly mouthwatering R16 face-off between Freya & Francesca - which: had better be on the livestream, LTA!!!

Super from Fran

Already I see that with last week's 15K title she is live ranked #16 among under 18s.

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

Not bad for Fran's first hard court protour match for 20 months.

Next match on this court is now warming up, so barring some sort of temporal aberration and miracle

Olivia SW is playing Eden in doubles. Rare chance to see the former. She stands to receive in doubles like Tara!

Yep, I'd assume it's like what happened in the Barnett-Sebov match in Canada the other week when that time it worked in our favour.

So assuming it's 4 then that's about par. We were guaranteed one in the Jodie-Ella match and Eden and Freya both had winnable matches against qualifiers (which obviously weren't foregone conclusion by any means), Fran was the real star here with her great win and the 3 who went out all lost to seeds as well as Ella but we were always losing one there. Guaranteed one quarter finalist and hopefully Maia and Jodie can make an impact in their second round matches.

Edit - I've had a mess up here, forgot we had 9 in total and 5 made it through. 5/9 is pretty good in that case considering 4 were playing seeds.

Cracking win for Fran. Shows she's ready for 25K level. Interesting battle between her and Freya next.
