johnnylad · Tennis legend

Now 7-6 4-1 and frozen.

Exciting scheduling.

Eaton could qualify here on last week's form.

Sadly I tihnk Ward may struggle a little, but he's often stepped up before at ATP qualies level

SB has been stuck for ages now at 4-1 Chris...all the other courts are updating....?

Pim Pim Johannsson has a main draw WC here.

Wardy is 4th and last match on Centre Court. Can he perfrom better than Slabba did against Ryderstedt?

johnnylad · Tennis legend

disdappeared from scoreboard now. I'd say he's either won, or retired, or won by retirement

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Strange. The result still isn't on the scoreboard either.

Wardy just started. *1-1.

Positive early stages, Ward up 3-2* at the minute, no break points for either man as yet.

Another hold to 30 means Ward is now up 4-3. He could do with upping that first serve %. It is currently at 45% compared to Ryderstedt who is serving at 71%. However, that said he is still yet to face a break point so obviously his second serve is working pretty well

British_is_Best · County player

Ward holds serve for a 6-5* lead at least guaranteeing a first set tie break. Now he needs to try and find a way into this service game of Ryderstedt. The Swede has looked good on serve, with 5 aces and a 75% first serve and has dropped just 4 points on serve in this match

Tie break it is as Ryderstedt holds to 30
