This traditional warm-up for the US Open has been going since 1986, with just 2 British singles winners: Andy Murray in 2003 and Marcus Willis in 2008. No British girl has ever won here, but we have a strong quartet trying to change that in a relatively weak draw (Mimi Xu is the top seed, ranked lower than all the top 8 boys seeds).
Isabelle manages a win. Oli plays tomorrow. It's common for those in US Open qualifying not to play doubles here as , although 2 Special Exempts are available, they often go to players left in singles (who have priority)
Girls R1 (L48)
(1) Mingge Xu bye
Isabelle Lacy d. Eliana Kook (CAN) 6-4 7-6(7)

Returning to hard courts in the Americas which propelled Oli to the top 50 seems to have been a real tonic for him, as he takes out a seed today. The top seed is a potential round 3 opponent
