Jasmine Conway, Kyran Magimay and Hugo Coquelin all won 3 matches to progress from pre-qualifying to qualifying. Kyran beat the No 1 pre-qualy seed to progress, although the No 1 seed should have been knocked out in the first round. Luca Bluett was leading *5-2 in the decider but, err, bluett (geddit?) and lost 5-7.

Jasmine beat Isabella Wong on the way to pre-qualify.

Ferran Redza had a 0&1 win in Round 1 and retired in the 3rd in Round 2 at 6-7(8) 7-6(8) 1-4 probably from cramp. Im sure both tie break scores were 8-6 but they've been given as 10-8. I watched the end of the 1st and the 2nd set and I'm not surprised somebody retired. Lots of very long rallies in what looked like very humid conditions.

Brooke Black, Hannah Read and Tegan Bush pre-qualify in doubles and progress to qualifying. Neither of the mens doubles pairs pre-qualify.

Tegan Bush also got into qualifying as a lucky loser. Unfortunately it was against the No 1 seed (and Kristina P's doubles partner) and her reprieve was short lived, losing 5 & 1.

The 2 Florida girls, Allegra and Brooke, qualify to join their team mate Gabia as well as Mimi and Kristina in the main draw. Allegra defeated the No 1 qualifying seed Lexington Reed that Tegan lost to yesterday to qualify 5-7 6-0 6-3.

Jasmine, and the two boys Kyran and Charlie R all lost in the final qualifying round.

The women's draw has not been kind.

Mimi plays Gabia in R1. The winner will play the No 1 seed or her conqueror

Kristina plays former team mate Mia Slama seeded 5 who has a good record against Brits

Qualifiers yet to be placed.

Men's draw not yet available

Congratulations to Hannah Read and partner for making it through pre-qualifying and qualifying to the main draw. And they only made it in to pre-qualy after withdrawals.

Jasmine and partner and Alex Okonkwo and partner also progress to the main draw. Alex+ play Luca Pow and partner in the main draw.

Mimi and Gabia looks interesting, although a shame. Presumably Mimi must be a hot favourite to win?

A disappointing day with only Mimi of the 5 women and Henry and Alex of the 4 men progressing. The biggest surprise came from Luca Pow losing in straight sets. He will now have to go through the consolation draw to try to qualify for the NCAAs in this tournament. Mimi's reward is to play the No 1 seed. The top half of the draw that Mimi is in is far tougher than the bottom half.

More success in doubles with 3 of our 4 women's teams progressing and the only defeat in the men's doubles came in the Brit+ v Brit+ match up with Luca Pow+ overcoming Alex Okonkwo+.

We're guaranteed at least one win in the women's doubles today with Flora Johnson+ playing Jasmine Conway+.

In the consolation draw Kristina P plays Allegra KD.

Second that. Must say the college system is starting to make more sense now. Thanks Lambda.

That's a good win - how highly ranked world wise was the top seed?

It seems she is 477 to Mimis 335. I have no idea how the college ranking system works TBH. Sure Lambda can enlighten us
