Good to see Hep win. Wonder why she didnt play last week?

Madadman · Top national player

For anyone interested the Aus Open Junior Qualifying is at the same site as the J300 in Traralgon.

Apart from now they seemed to have moved the girls' FQRs, which have been rescheduled, and now they're at Melbourne Park

Which means Isa and Hep will get to play at the 'real' Aussie Open

(although, of course, we hope they'll do that anyway, when they win their FQRs.....)

No sign of results for FQR for the girls

It's out - and it's good

Both Hep and Isa won !!!

(Although Isa only won 7-5 in the third - far tighter than you'd expect against a wildcard)

Hep beat the top seed in two sets though

Thanks CD.

I see that the Main Draw is out now as well.

Hannah (Seeded 4) looks to have a relatively straightforward R1 and R2 with Yelsaveta Kotliar in R3 who got through to the QF last week, and then potentially Iva Jovic in the QF who beat her last week.

Heph may have a chance against Banuls of Spain who is more of a clay court player (although I heard the courts are playing slow this year).

Issy Lacey has a tough opener against Monica Stankiewicz who got to the SF last week.

Mimi (seeded 12) would probably meet Alena Kovackova in R3 and then Kaitlin Quevedo in the QF, both of whom would be tough.

And Mika has to get past Stusek, who won Les Petits As - based on last week, that's a really close call, probably Julia would be favourite (she lost to Emerson who won the event)

In the Boys:

Viktor Frydrych may have a chance in R1 but will probably meet the top seed, Cina, in R2.

Charlie Robertson play Valiente from Spain who is probably better on Clay in R1 and Zhang in R2 who should be tough but lost in R1 last week.

Oli Bonding (seeded 8) should get through R1 and R2 to meet Charlie Camus of France in R3 which should be close.

Ben Gusic Wan has a chance against Hwang of Korea in R1 but Brunclick of Czechia will be tough in R2.
