There is a depleted cast of Brits in Australia for the Open preceded by this traditional warm-up event.  Ella McDonald and Ranah Stoiber came out for the United Cup event, and have been joined only by Imogen Haddad, who lost in qualifying.  Mimi Xu was a late withdrawal from both events this week, while other top juniors have opted for Latin America.

Ranah takes on one of the top ranked 14 year olds in round 1

R1 (L64)

(12) Ranah Akua Stoiber v Wakana Sonobe (JPN)

(Q) Emily Sartz-Lande (NOR) v (2) Ella McDonald

In doubles all three Brits won their round 1 matches paired with non-Brits, meaning that Ella and Imogen are on opposite sides in round 2

Two onesided matches, one in our favour with the fast rising Slovakian having no trouble with Ella, while Ranah eased into the quarters. She plays the Turk who eliminated the top seed in round 1. Ella and Ranah prospered in doubles

R3

 (12) Ranah Akua Stoiber d. (Q) Rebecca Munk Mortensen (DEN) 6-2 6-1
(13) Renata Jamrichova (SVK) d. (2) Ella McDonald 6-1 6-2

QF

Melisa Ercan (TUR) v (12) Ranah Akua Stoiber

Not been paying much attention but see Ella is third highest ranked in the girls AO entry - will she be third seed? And Ranah is 14th.

No British boys entered into the AO

Ranah gave a walkover in both singles and doubles, so concerning.
Ella into the doubles Semi final

 Most of the juniors are going to Costa Rica next week instead.

Ella will be highly seeded and most of the top 10 have other priorities. Ranah gave a walkover, so may be in doubt for the competition.

Unlike the other slams there are few tournaments to go on or off the rankings between the close of entries and the start of the tournament. Hence most of the seedings will stay as per the entry order, assuming there are no late withdrawals. It would be particularly unfortunate for Ranah to miss out, as she was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon

Doubles SF

(1) McDonald/Udvardy (GBR/HUN) v (3) Ishii/Koike (JPN)
