 I don't think there are any streams for qualifying, and after today no chance of seeing Ella.  Main draw could be streamed by Eurosport/Discovery+

Kaitlin Quevedo (USA) d. (q13) Ella McDonald 7-6(4) 6-1

In the main draw Ranah finds herself in a reasonable section of the draw to have a chance to progress through at least one round. There are several girls who have strong records on the women's tour, led by Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva (WTA160). Top seed is Petra Marcinko (JWR1 and WTA330 following success in the Australian Open and a couple of 25K events)

R1

Ranah Akua Stoiber v Aysegui Mert (TUR)

Ranah is in doubles with a canadian called Mia Kupres. Unseeded opening opponents but could play top seeds second round.

Ranah played with Kupres in Australia (reaching the Traralgon final before winning a round at the Oz Open) and Milan. The Canadian won't be distracted by singles, as she is the first to exit this morning, losing 1 & 0 to the former U12 Orange Bowl winner Mirra Andreeva. That match was on Eurosport Player, so presumably Ranah will also be available tomorrow. Their doubles round 1 draw looks good against a scratch pair of singles qualifiers, but if successful they would likely face the top seeds next, an experienced Czech pairing.

Doubles R1

Kupres/Stoiber (CAN/GBR) v El Aouni / Quevedo (MAR/USA)

For those interested in following this event the ITF has a preview However one of the featured players, second seed Sofia Costoulas lost today to one of the strong contingent of Czech girls, opening the draw for Andreeva the other seed in that eighth.  Eleanor Preston has an insightful article on the relationship between Roland Garros junior success and future careers on the RG website

Ranah looks very comfortable at present up 6-3 4*-1 A shock elsewhere as Diana Shnaider, the bandana wearing 5th seed, who has won 3 consecutive titles on the women's tour (including 60K) has lost in the second round to a German qualifier

The last 3 games looked very comfortable against an opponent who was leaking errors. Her next opponent looks much stronger (JWR13/WTA777 and a finalist in her last 25K)

Ranah Akua Stoiber d. Aysegui Mert (TUR) 6-3 6-1

Ranah recovers from a break down to take the first set 7-2 in the breaker against the 11th seed!

Ranah had what looked like the doctor on in the third set. Not sure, there was a more physio looking person but the main person seemed to be a doctor. Might be wrong though. Certainly no real treatment was given.

The Canadian girl has a very good serve, strong ground shots, and some nice touch coming forward. I imagine she's a real force on hard courts.
