Ollie Knight lost out in qualifying, leaving Megan plus Mark Ceban as the only Brits in the main draw.  Mark plays the boy who beat Ollie in round 1. Megan's opponent should be familiar to many, sister of Giovanni, WTA803 and winner of her last junior tournament (J200) so a tough draw.

Live scores are here but neither play tomorrow

Boys R1 (L32)

(Q) Edoardo Babolarco (ITA) v (5) Mark Ceban

Girls R1 (L32)

Megan Knight v (WC) Daphnee Mpetshi Perricard (FRA)

Megan got beaten rather easily

Daphnée is born Nov 2008 so is 2 years and 3 months older than Meg, which is quite a difference

And, as you say David, Daphnée seems to have hit some form/ found some confidence (the latter more her problem than the former)

Which is unfortunate (for Meg)

And as long as Meg's arm/shoulder issue isn't a real problem (and seemingly it's not), then that's the main thing

But, apart from the doubles title at the Nationals, Meg really hasn't had any results to be pleased with in the last 5 months or so - it's getting to be a tad concerning

(5) Mark Ceban d. (Q) Edoardo Babolarco (ITA) 6-2 6-2

R2

Kai Thompson (HKG) v (5) Mark Ceban
