Shame for Ella - to have match point against the top seed and not quite sneak it - after having the same against Coco Vandew. last week - that's tought
Following on from comments yesterday, very impressive of unranked Sofia Johnson to take out the junior ranked 39 in the world, though.....
Tough looking round 2 with Ranah taking on last year's finalist, Sofia the Nottingham winner and Mimi the second seed.
