I know little about Jamie Connel (he didn't play much juniors) but all the other players are 'big' names (to me) - will be really interesting to see how they pan out

And I believe there's a livestream too, yes?

All the links for streams, scoring, etc are on the tournament pages

The cracked racquets stream I believe is only for the main draws.
The individual court streams on Track Tennis (men) and Playsight (women) are available for all draws. The men's TT streams yesterday didn't have on screen scores or who was playing. The women's Playsight streams require a Playsight account.

Thanks for the info, Lambda

Also spotted Cheri Darley, Stetson University, in the women's draw and she won first match.

And Savannah Dada-Mascoll, Appalachian university, likewise, won first match. But Jacquelyn O has given w/o to opponent in 2nd round.

I don't think I've come across Savannah before. But she was one of 3 wins for the women. Referee was called in Kristina's match towards the end after a "ridiculous" call (according to her coach - I thought it was correct) who then observed the last few games.

Lambda · Challenger level

Congratulations to young Gabia and also to Imogen who go through to join Millie, Alicia and Talia in qualifying. Gabia was completely spent in the first half of the deciding set and I think a break down so especially well done to come back and win.

PQ3: [pq7] Savannah Dada-Mascoll (Appalachian State) 13.1 LOST TO Leonie Moeller (Memphis) 13.6 | 6(8) & 1
PQ3: (pqwc) Gabia Paskauskas (NC State) 16.1 DEFEATED Aya El Sayed (Colorado) 14.3 | 4-6 6-2 6-4 *
PQ3: Immi Haddad (USC) 15.1 DEFEATED Tianna Rangan (Wisconsin) 16.2 | 3 & 4

*The drawsheet currently has the score for Gabia's match the wrong way round as the scoring machine broke towards the end and it was manually reported, or in Gabia's words "the scoreboard is tired like my brain".
There is a lucky loser spot in the qualifying draw who will play Alicia, so may still be a chance for Savannah.

PQ3: Oscar Brown (Duke) 8.3 LOST TO William Mroz (Illinois) 7.3 | 1 & 4
