A little shout our to Gabriella Rawles (another new name, loving the fact there's so many this week)

In Costa Rica, J4, Gabriella (age 13, just a tiddler) won her first round match, and her second, and only lost her QF, against the 3rd seed, in a MTB

That'll be our third 2007-er with a junior ranking

Good stuff, I think it is Cape Town this week for the South African event?

Indeed, sorry...

In CAPE TOWN, J5, a win in three sets sees Lucy Weber into the QFs, although Lara B lost.

The two of them are in the dubs QF too.

Luca Pow (great name!) got an excellent win against the 7th seed today 4 and 2, to move into the QF stage in Istanbul J5

Harare, J5, early order of play shows a series of matches as played and abandoned? Not sure what that means, played and suspended (due to rain?) is normal but played and abandoned seems like something more serious ?

Good chance, though, that it's just the tournament ref who's hit the wrong button and meant suspended

Pow won his R2 match, But Harry Rock lost today in straight sets

In Turkey, J5:

Ranah won her R2 match easily, as did Talia N-G, although by early retirement. However, Talia's had some bad draws and it's nice to see her getting a bit of luck.

So three Brits into the QFs.

Seemingly all good, as expected, just weather....

In Harare, J5:

Tavis Wright lost his R2 match but Will Jansen won his

Keeping the family flag flying, though, Emmie Wright beat the 3rd seed.

Ellie Blackford couldn't manage to beat the second seed though, although she gave it good go, only losing in 3 sets
