After putting my Daniela out yesterday (boo, hiss), I was pleased to watch a bit and see that Emma Cohen actually plays a nice game and was clearly the better player on the court today.
She beat the top seed, Millie Skelton, with no real difficulty - Emma has a technically far better game than Millie.

Only one court streamed today - the camera on court 3 broke down.

So Given won very easily but couldn't see any of it.

Emma plays Given for a MD place (you'd think Given would be the strong favourite, given recent results...... )

Young Ruby Cooling (2007) also won

Settling in for 30 mins of Flora v Ruby (both 2007-ers) - am really pleased this one is on the one livestreamed court.

Seen a little bit of Flora before but never seen Ruby....

Well, that confirmed what I was expecting - Flora's game seems to be fully priced - there's not a lot that stands out there.

Whereas Ruby has some really nice qualities.....

Ruby won 6-2 6-3

Given also won easily, as expected.

Sarah Tatu qualifies but gets Ranah in R1, which is a tough ask.

Ruby and Given and Tia are the other three qualifiers

And Flora Johnson has got a LL place

Is there no play here today? I was looking forward to watching Hannah but can't find any scores or streams.

No - for some reason there's a day off and MD play starts tomorrow

 Thank you CD.  That explains it.

Hannah is on at 10am tomorrow followed by Ella's match on the streamed court 5, while Ranah fb Talia are on court 3, should that be streamed again

Not surprised that Hannah is whipping up a storm against Given, who I don't rate much.

Currently winning 6-1 4-1

And that Mimi won easily over Fran Davis, 0 & 1

More surprised that Sarah Tatu has taken the first set off top seed, Ranah 6-4

Sarah is based in Spain, I believe, and is often in our junior threads, and has been doing a lot better recently .But wouldn't have expected her to challenge Ranah...

Watching a bit of Ranah's match.
No chair umpire...
Sarah Tatu is quite useful and is reflected when she has entered higher junior events.
Ranah, who I haven't seen for a few years, is very good defensively and has good court craft, but lacks a bit of power to hit winners.
At present she looks like a solid junior( I don't see her ranking improving much more), but may struggle to move up into senior ranks.

I like the shape of Sarah s shots. And she's dynamic, with good footwork. First time I've seen her....
Ranah looks a bit tight

Switched over to Ella v Hep.
This is a really good match.
Ella is tall and technically good.
Hep has power and is aggressive
Hep won the first set tie break.

Yes. I know Hep s game really well.
But nice to see Ella. Good relaxation through her shots - gets her good speed
It was the most interesting r1 draw ....

Ella has taken the second set, Hep making far too many errors.

If Hep can cut out the errors, I can see her being a top 10 junior by the age of 16 with a decent senior ranking.
