Yes, Ward played Kim last week, again in second round. Ward won 7-5 6-1.

Let's hope it's a repeat.

Expected results there, with the boys winning the doubles, Eaton losing his singles, and Ward winning his match

Ward is the favourite to win this match, but will probably get Lindahl in QF and that could be the end of his run, but will help him move towards the top 600

Grundon · Intermediate Club Player

Ward wins and plays Lindahl in the quarters

James Ward d. Hyun-Joon Kim 6-4 7-5

If he can find a way past Lindahl then the tournament really opens up for James as all the other seeds are already out

James Ward

consistently hitting these Qf's now! Exciting!

Sheddie · administrator

Great stuff from Ward, he'll now be top 600 when rankings are updated

Consistently doing well in these futures now, shame he's got Lindahl and I doubt it'll be close (Lindahl won the 10K last week without dropping a set) but who knows....against seeds 3 to 8 James would have been favourite imo.

Grundon · Intermediate Club Player

Ward gets lucky as Lindahl has to retire whilst 3-2 up in the first set

James WARD (GBR) (5) defeated Nick LINDAHL (AUS) (1) 3-2 Retired

Massive opportunity now for James to pick up a maiden Futures title given the relative rankings of the other three semi-finalists.

Semifinal

James WARD (GBR) (5) Vs Elbert SIE (INA) (WR844)
Mao-Xin GONG (CHN) (WR1116) Vs Jun-Chao XU (CHN) (WR1142)
