The seed 1 is from St Kitts & Nevis not Spain. Some players are benefitting from the extended ranking season. the shadow rankings which come out 13th December switch back to the 52 week rolling period. She would have been seeded 5th and with many points being doubles. Still a very good win from Amelie!
In early results today, Luca Pow is through to the last 8 (to play Irish player, Freddie Murray), as are Phoenix Weir and Billy Blaydes, who will play each other in the last 8

And Oliver Hague joins the QF list with a great win over the Dutch 3rd seed.
Last 8 looks like:
Matt Rankin (1) or Freddie Blaydes v Henry Searle
Oliver Hague v Zian vanderstappen (BEL)
Freddie Murray (IRE) (6) v Luca Pow (4)
Phoenic Weir (5) v Billy Blaydes
Pleased to see Daniela get a good win over Flora. Mimi will be a hard ask, she's a bit of a star, but great to see so many young players doing well (Ruby too).
Abby K and Given got an excellent win in the doubles over Ella and Isabelle Lacy
Daniela and Amalia (as wildcards) also got a win
In the boys, Oli Hague's win was obviously the standout, as Jon says, in the third-set TB, over the third seed.
Henry Searle (2006) has also been having an excellent month or so.
No wildcards in the boys' dubs - slightly strange....
Talia was 5th seed, so there's not much difference between her and the 2nd.
In fact, she's higher ranked than the 2nd seed now, so she should have won, the result followed the rankings.
Impressed by the scores of Ruby and Daniela.
So we've got two 2005-born girls, one 2006, and one 2007 - for the last 4 spots in a J3, that's big points. And good that it's not the older contingent.

ah, ok. I took it on face value!
Who would you expect to win the semis, CD?
Ella McDonald versus Issy Lacy Mimi Xu versus Talia Neilson-Gatenby
Sad for youngsters Amalia and Daniela who lost their match 8-10 in the MTB against the second seeds, from SVK/SKN who now play Abby K & Given in the semi
Other semi is Talia & Mimi (who are both still in the singles too) v Issey P and Aussie girl.
