I wonder if she wants a bit of a run of matches. Although she's played two tournaments this year, it's only actually three matches. It's probably a good idea to try and get a run together.

Kylie won her qualifier and Matilda + Lui progress in the main draw. Kylie and Matilda would meet in the quarter-finals if they get through to that stage. Millie plays later today, Kylie tomorrow

Boys R1 (L32)

Lui Maxted d. Biagio Gramaticopolo (ITA) 7-5 6-4

R2

Lui Maxted v (6) Romain Faucon (BEL)

Girls R1 (L32)

(1) Matilda Mutavdzic d. (WC) Klaudija Bubelyte (LTU) 6-3 7-5
Daria Khomutslanskaya (BLR) v (Q) Kylie Bilchev
Laura Hietaranta (FIN) v Amelia Bissett

And Kylie completes a clean sweep without a set dropped in round 1. Both Kylie and Millie face seeded opponents in round 2 who have reached a Grade 2 final this year

Girls R1 (L32)

(1) Matilda Mutavdzic d. (WC) Klaudija Bubelyte (LTU) 6-3 7-5

We have a guaranteed semi-finalist thanks to Kylie's upset of the 5th seed

No joy for Matilda, but a doubles title for Kylie, which will be a new CH and hopefully inside the top 300

Bravo to Kylie - a J2 trophy is great and always nice to beat the top seeds, too.
