I almost feel sorry for Wardy's first round opponent! bet he came up against a very determined player after last weeks first round exit.........

I bet Wardy wouldn't say no to getting another crack at Marti during this week

Coxy was unlucky that tie break must have been very close, wonder if he had any set points during it.........

Today's results in Martos are finally available! Alex Ward beat the slightly more highly ranked Vivanco Guzmán in two close sets, 7-6(3) 7-6(4) ( smile

), & will face the Slovakian second seed, Kamil Capkovic, in the QFs! hmm

In the doubles, the Dans (Cox & Evans), got through to the QFs, where they'll play the top seeds, James Ward & his Spanish partner, Coll Riudavets (forget his first name!

), by beating the Spanish/Polish combo of González Jiménez & Romanowski 4 & 2. smile

It's great to see the Wardinator back on the winning trail again

DJ · County player

Looks as though Dan Smethurst's injury may not be too bad, as his name is still in next week's lists.

Wardy!

No results yet. Been 70 Deg C today in Martos so the lateness of the results could be down too an extended siesta and / or to much sangria !

Drew · Sep 26, 2008

James won 6-4 5-7 6-3 and plays Prpic who won in 2 in the SF.

Drew · Sep 26, 2008

SF :

PRPIC, Filip (SWE) 1 WR350 v WARD, James (GBR) 3 WR393

ARSENOV, Danila (RUS) 4 v BAUTISTA-AGUT, Roberto (ESP) 8

johnnylad · Tennis legend

Nice going. He's defending last Septembers points and adding to them at the moment.

Prpic will be a good measuring stick too!

Wardy! Wardy! Wardy!

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Just for the sake of completeness, Ward & Coll Riudavets lost to the Dans 3 & 1 in the QFs of the doubles!

The Dans then proceeded to beat the (arguably) more fancied Spanish pair, Boje Ordoñez & Rodriguez Mayoralas, in straight sets (3 & 2) to reach the final, where they'll play the second seeds, Capkovic & Sitak, who had a tougher SF against another Spanish pair which they won 6-1 3-6 [10-8]! biggrin

Shhh · Challenger level

Tennis Europe lists this as a $10k but the ATP site, ITF and the drawsheet itself all say its a $15k.

Its a $10k in the title on here. A typo or are the other sites wrong (and Tennis Europe right)?
