Charlie Robertson v (WC) Matteo Sciahbasi (ITA)

Viktor Frydrych v Maxwell Exsted (USA)

Girls R1 (L32)

Hannah Klugman would have been 1seed but PFLWMDed.

Hopefully because her team considered that her 4 women's matches last week were enough preparation for the upcoming J500 in Milan, and RG. But may be injured.

The livescores is working now, but news isnt great. Both Mika and Mimi have lost their first sets, though both rallying in their second sets.

Good turnaround from Mimi who won 1-6, 6-1, 6-0

Mika lost to a girl who's been playing red clay all month, and just won her last J200 tournament.

 Mika hasnt had hardly any clay court practice so no surprise there. Glad to see Mimi got her mojo back after her successful run on clay in Bucharest. I wonder if she is finding it more difficult to find the motivation for juniors? Not sure, but I think she is one of our best junior prospects moving forward on clay.

In an article on the website Mimi is quoted as having asked Henry Searle for advice about playing here as he was a semi finalist here last year.

The language is comical at times eg re Mika ''a tennis player as powerful as she is foul''.

Apparently no-one from here has ever won in' the 43 years of glorious history' of the tournament but perhaps the favourit Xu will be able to break this jinx.smile

 Get the impression Mimi is the live and soul type of person! Seems to enjoy life.

Mimi crashed out today but Charlie edged a third set tiebreak to keep British interest in the singles alive. His reward is a crack at the 7th seed, who won a set off Brandon Nakashima (ATP72) in qualifying for the Madrid Open recently.

Boys R2

Charlie Robertson d. Anas Mazdrashkki (BUL) 3-6 6-2 7-6(6)

QF

Charlie Robertson v (7) Reda Bennani (MAR)

Girls R2

Yelyzaveta Kotliar (UKR) d. (1) Mingge Xu 6-3 6-1

Charlie unsurprisingly found the Moroccan too tough, while Mimi just lost out in doubles to end British interest here

Boys QF

(7) Reda Bennani (MAR) d. Charlie Robertson 6-4 6-2

Girls Doubles SF

(2) Aristanbekova/Zhiyenbayeva (KAZ) d. Buchnik/Xu (ISR/GBR) 5-7 6-4 [10-7]
