DavidC · Tennis legend

Ella comes through 7-5 6-3 against an opponent who was underpowered, reliant on a high UE count from Ella and excessive moonballing to be competitive.

Will races through the first set 6-1

Agreed. Her tennis wasn't a great spectacle. Ella wasn't playing at her best but still looked like she had a much classier game than her opponent.

The second set was closer, but a break in the 8th game gives Will a 6-1 6-3 victory

DavidC · Tennis legend

Tough round 2s for both Ella and Will. Ella takes on a 15 year old Russian prodigy already WTA448 after winning a 25K recently, while Will meets the Wimbledon runner-up (ATP 887)

Boys R1 (L64)

(WC) Jonah Braswell (USA) v (Q) Patrick Brady
(Q) William Jansen d. Jeremy Jin (AUS) 6-1 6-3

In doubles Ranah continues with the partner she has been with in all the grand slams this year (had to withdraw from Wimbledon though)

Boys Doubles R1 (L32)

Brady/Jansen v Tokac/Winter (TUR/AUS)

Girls Doubles R1 (L32)

El Allami/McDonald (MAR/GBR) v (6) Cross/Mboko (CAN)
(7) Balus/Daubnerova (SVK) v Kupres/Stoiber (CAN/GBR)

It's not a great match, IMO (but then, Brady's tennis always leaves me rather underwhelmed) but Patrick has taken the first set, 6-4

Ranah's match is faintly better but Ranah is clearly the stronger player but makes SUCH sloppy errors at times
She led 3-0
She led 5-3
And now we're at 5-5

ADD: and then loses it 5-7

Currently there is a rain delay with Patrick leading 6-4 4-3* and Ranah 5-7 5-2*

DavidC · Tennis legend

This time Ranah converts a lead and levels at 5-7 6-3

DavidC · Tennis legend

Patrick edges the second set tiebreak 7-5 to join Will in round 2

DavidC · Tennis legend

Ranah came through 5-7 6-3 6-4 getting just enough winners to compensate for the high error count. She will probably need to play a lot better to progress further, with her likely round 2 opponent being Liv Hovde, currently cruising through her round 1 match

DavidC · Tennis legend

Ella and Will play their round 2 matches later this evening. Patrick is likely to be up against Wimbledon semi-finalist Martin Landaluce, though the Spaniard is in to a first set tiebreak currently in his round 1 match

DavidC · Tennis legend

The expected opponents for Patrick and Ranah (Liv Hovde did the Roehampton/Wimbledon double, and beat Harriet Dart earlier in the year). Ella and Will may be on court in about an hour, if the matches currently on their courts are decided in straight sets. Ranah also has her doubles on later.

Boys R2

(Q) Patrick Brady v (5) Martin Landaluce (ESP)
(16) Michael Zheng (USA) v (Q) William Jansen

Girls R2

Ella McDonald v (14) Mirra Andreeva (***)
Ranah Akua Stoiber v (3) Liv Hovde (USA)

Nix · Futures qualifying

Good battling from Ella to pull it back from 3-5 down.
