Well done to Chris Eaton. He is a source of great confusion to me. Seems to struggle at challenger and even futures level yet really steps it up at ATP/Slam events. I think Bastl is certainly a winnable tie.

Ward went out to Ryderstedt with a score of 6-7(7), 2-6 cry

Pleased to see confirmation of the Eaton result. His game matches Bastl quite well too.

Sees Wardy held his own for the first set. I think he's won enough points this month to have made this titl at ATP q's worth it.

Come on Chris!
