Lui is an All-American. Wins 6-4 6-1.
Up next for Lui is the winner of Rafa's match.

I hope that Raffaello is on the same court that Roan and Sofia lost on is not a bad omen.

They got 27 of the 32 seeds through into round 2. Not sure how round 2 went, but that doesnt seem a bad effort from the seeding folks, certainly not compared to most pro events

Maybe more luck of the draw. The way seedings are done is a joke and incentivise players to not play once they've qualified for the championships as they are penalised in their ranking score for any losses, so better not to play. Most of the top seeds have played very few matches. Oli doesn't even have a full compliment of wins, which partly explains why he is only 7th seed. Its notable that most of the seeds that were lowly ranked in the pre-season rankings and got seeded off the back of a handful of wins at the All-Americans have been knocked out.

Scores in the morning but doubles going pretty much as expected. Doubles wins for all the men with just Henry and Lui left to play
Lily+ lost despite being the better team for a set and a half. Given+ also lost. Grace+ is a set and a break to the good.
