Just two Europeans playing the Uruguay Bowl, but one of them is Liv Zingg playing here before a W15 qualifier in Argentina. Liv is off to a good start today. In doubles she is paired with her round 2 opponent
R1 (L32)
(5) Liv Zingg d. Lauren Yuna Shibata (BRA) 6-1 6-2
R2
(16R) Caira Delfina Vega Gudino (ARG) v (5) Liv Zingg
Walked past the club a few years back. As you'd expect, it's in a very nice neighbourhood, and the Hotel Carrasco is only a short distance away (I imagine the Zingg family can afford it). This is a nice opportunity for Liv to vulture some points as it looks like a fairly soft singles draw to me (unsurprisingly, a poor showing from local girls and the second seed from Brazil lost to Ophelia Korpanec Davies recently, who I don't think is anything special)
No problems for Liv in her second round singles - the quarter-final is likely to be against the Brazilian third seed, who appears to be a step up in level, having reached the final of her last J200 event

Kennedy the girl there was a bit of controversy about in the US, isn't she?
As she was one of the four selected for the wildcard playoff adults USOpen?
