Fantastic stuff!

Well done son

I'd like to see players like Smethurst and Milton basing themselves in Spain, its the place to be!

At least 99% - it says Alexander on all the official drawsheets and James would have been seeded.

Here's the detail:

SF: (Q) Alexander Ward UNR beat (7) Jordi Marse-Vidri (ESP) WR 596 by 3-6 6-4 7-6(1) biggrin

FI: (Q) Alexander Ward UNR v David Diaz-Ventura (ESP) WR 683

In the week he won his first Futures main draw match, Alex has reached an ITF Final a full year younger than Tigger Henman did! biggrin

Alex now plays the double Dee-stroyer in the Final. In fact, Diaz-Ventura thrashed David Rice 1 & 2 in R1 here, his second straight sets win against him this year, he has also beaten James Ward 2 & 2 this year, as well as beating a couple of other Brits in straights and double bagelling Rob Dee. I can't work out why his ranking isn't higher and he isn't seeded, but he has never been higher-ranked than he is now.

What a great run!

The double Dee-stroyer was also a Rice destroyer, A James Ward destroyer, A Smethurst Beater and a Brown detroyer. A tough call.

But reaching a final like this is, is exceptional! Wardy!

Wow. That's fantastic. He has to finish the week off now by winning the title. Be brilliant if this is the start of a big career. I will be following this one with great interest.

You're not easily satisfied are you wink - I know what you mean though, what a fairytale that would be. DDV had a much easier match today though, dropping just 2 games.
