Grand Slams are always tricky but I think Hannah has a reasonable draw avoiding most of the people who have been a problem for her recently.  Efremova in R2, Kovackova (older one) in R3 and Pohankova who she beat in Milan in QF.??

Brooke should have a good chance of R2 and would be expected to play Julia Stusek in R2 who is usually good on clay.

Allegra on paper will lose R1 but Zhang was poor in Milan so could get a win and could then get to R3 playing 5th seeded Krejcova.

Oli plays a clay specialist but he lost in Milan R1 in a tight 3 setter.

 

In doubles, Hannah is top seed with Emerson Jones but they are the best pair I would say is the Kovakova sisters at seeded 3 in the other half.

Brooke plays the second seeded Penickova sisters from the USA who mainly play on Hard and have been playing senior W15 matches recently in Monastir I think.

Allegra could meet Hannah in the QF but would find the R2 match hard.

Oli is seeded 8th with Lindsay Davenport's son, Jagger Leach so they may progress well.

Good luck to them all.

How do we watch the juniors? TNT via Discovery Plus are,I believe, stated to cover but I can't find any streams on their site or any mention. Info search on the site does take me to a page but nothing on it.

 Discovery+ has them all 

I don't know anything about TNT, and whether accessing them via TNT makes a difference

I've just got a one-month subscription to Discovery+ directly and all the junior matches come up under the 'live sport' options, the same as for all the adult matches, they just have a scrolling banner with every court

 https://www.discoveryplus.com/gb/sport/tennis  has links to all the junior matches if you have a subscription.  I don't this year, as I cannot justify the increased price, given i have acceptable options for all the main draw matches at RG, and there are so many other counter-attractions at this time of year, including tennis at Birmingham

Lots of seeds falling, especially in the girls

R1 losses for both Penickova twins (Kristina won the SFs last year and is JR 3 !!!)

So the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th seeds all lost in R1  !!!

 

NB The 2nd, 4th and 5th seeds are all in Hannah's half .......
