Megan Knight plays her first J300 event, and only her second clay court ITF. There is live streaming from 2 courts here but not the court Megan is scheduled on tomorrow.
My understanding is that her team is looking long term. Whilst she will play junior Wimbledon there are no expectations of her doing well this year, its more about the experience. Grass court season this year is not a big thing for her. They want to build up her ranking, get her into J300 and 500 events on rankings. She will be aiming for the orange bowl this year and other big events with all junior slams the aim for next year

Isn't she playing Hurlingham as well?
Yes
For someone who's supposedly not targeting grass, playing Hurlingham could be thought of as a bit weird
Apart from, of course, I bet her and her dad will have an absolutely super time, with all the swanky stuff going on, and ultra pretty surroundings, and high profile people swanning around :)

That was only what I was told by a third party so it may not be accurate/may have changed. The impression I got was that this year is all about experiencing different things and climbing the rankings
Megan edged a 3 setter and plays a seed with a modest record (Allegra beat her comfortably in the Belgian J300). However if successful she is likely to face the top seed in round 3. Megan+ also won their opening doubles
