Lee and Cara were facing tricky opponents in the first round ... So match was close as expected ... Lee and Cara mananged to win in super tie-break in 1 hr 25 mins ... In this match Lee/ Cara converted 3 break points from 6 chances and Zimo/ Groenefeld pair converted 3 from 5 chances.

Ronak Manuja had great opportunity to score his first victory at Junior grandslam ... After losing first set in tie-break he tried almost everything but he was unlucky to lose match in 2 hrs 54 mins ... Ronak won more points than his Aussie opponents, 145 pts to 141 pts ... He converted 4 break point chances from 10, other hand his Aussie opponent converted 3 from 9 break point chances ... Their third marathon set was going for 103 mins.

Yuki had suprisingly tough match, which he won in 2 hrs ... Sanchez Delfin converted 4 break-points from 5 chances, other hand Yuki converted 6 from 9 break point chances ... Overall unsatisfying performance from top-seed, he need to improve his performance to go deep in this first grandslam of the year.
