The last time this tournament was held (2019) Ben Gusic Wan was a winner in the under 12s. There is a large British contingent here for that event, while Maximilan Carrier is the most well-known Brit in the under 14s (there may be other US based Brits in the draw - the draw sheet just gives place of residence). The main draws start tomorrow

So many names that I've never heard of - am looking forward to following the results.
Do you know is they have any livestreams, David? Or even livescore? I've found the draws....
Sadly I cannot recall any livescores in the past, and don't see anything advertised. The under 14 finals were streamed in 2019, but I haven't seen any links this time.
I have spotted another Brit in the under 14 draw - Oliver Bonding, who is just behind Maximilian in the Tennis Europe rankings. He is listed as Las Vegas so presumably is now based there. Conor Brady has seemingly been replaced though
Under 14 R1 (L128)
(17) Oliver Bonding v Joao Petro Bonini (BRA)
Eli Dieveney (USA) v (25) Adam Farag-Cao
Alvaro Jimenez Roman (ESP) v (13) Maximilian Carrier
I know we're not an Irish board, but they're our Celtic brethren, so well done to Ireland's Charlie Riley who pushed the top seed SO close yesterday in the U12s.
Although there was no joy for Harry or Rocco Samuel's result has been reversed, meaning 8 Brits in round 2 in the under 12s

A brief report from Colette about Oluwajomiloju's match
"Eddie Herr champion Teodor Davidov again found himself in a tough contest, as he had in the first round. Against No. 17 seed Oluwajomiloju Aminu of Great Britain, Davidov found himself down 5-1 in the second set, after taking the first set 6-3. Aminu, nearly twice Davidov's size, served for the set at 5-1, and 5-3, but couldn't close either time. A marathon game with Davidov saving set points serving at 4-5 appeared to be the turning point, and the 11-year-old from Bradenton closed out the tiebreaker for a 6-3, 7-6(1) victory."
