Jessica Ren teams up with Liam Broady. Farris Gossea teams up with Isobel Whittaker of Jamaica. Eleanor Dean teams up with Harry Edwards. Laura Robson teams up with Johan Skattum of Norway.
Robson/Bouchard are through to the quarters. Jessica Ren/Kovalets are through to the quarters.
18&U singles:
Tara lost 76 64. The progress has slowed down a bit for Tara. Two years ago, she was defeating people like Tamaryn Hendler. Hendler has improved so much since then.
But I am pretty sure that she will be winning matches like these soon. We need to give her the time.
Laura Robson defeated seeded Michelle Dandik of Canada 64 61.
Jessica Ren defeated Yulia Valetova of Russia 62 60.
I think that we can have an all British final here. Laura reached the last 16 last year when she was just 11, so she must be one of the strongest players out there. It beats me how she isn't seeded.
Heather Watson teams up with Annie Mulholland of the US. Jennifer Ren teams up with Harriet Sheahan of Australia and they have a first round bye as they are the seventh seeds.
16&U Doubles:
Jennifer Smith teams up with Mariana Arana of Mexico. Naomi Broady teams up with Joanna Zarur of Mexico. Yasmin and Stephanie are the second seeds and have a first round bye.
18&U Doubles:
Jade teams up with Sorana-Mihaela Cirstea of Romania and they are the sixth seeds. They will need to make it to the finals to affect Jade's total, but I think that they can do it. Jade is awesome at doubles. Tara teams up with Tamaryn Hendler of Belgium. Good team there!

Seeds are done by the national associations in the U12s (or something like that). Since we didn't have many players in the draw, we only got 1 seed.
