The first two sets of Ward v Eaton were pretty one sided.  Eaton was in the same  form as at Wimbledon last year, with Ward unable to get a look in on his serve.  There were very few rallies as for the most part Eaton couldn't match Ward from the back of the court so would either rush the net or go for a winner early on.  While this was effective to begin with, in the 3rd set Ward was beginning to read Eaton's serve and get more returns back in play.  Eaton could sense the match was getting away from him and Ward knew he was coming back, so it was getting pretty heated.  Both would unnecessarily over celebrate after winning unimportant points, Eaton after Ward netted a return for 15-0 and Ward after Eaton netted a volley for 15 all.  Ward wasn't very impressed with Eaton's game, vocally announcing he knew where Eaton was going to serve before Chris himself did.  He steped his game up in the 4th set, returning Chris's serve a lot easier and regularly claiming his own shots were 'huge ' and 'too big' after hitting a winner.  In the 5th Ward was arguing with the umpire and the one line judge almost every game.  There weren't that many bad calls, and no terrible errors.  He said either every ball was hitting the back of the line or the umpire needs glasses and that it was a 'scandal'.  Both players were understandably beginning to tire, and the serves had a little less power and routine shots were drifting out.  Eaton saved a few break ponts with some great serve and volleying and Ward saved a few match points, including coming back from love 40 in the game before he was broken.  Eventuall Eaton came out on top, but obviously it could have gone either way.

The majority of the crowd were LTA officials or coaches and there a few players, mostly juniors who split their time between watching, training on the adjacent courts and being in the gym.  I recognised Laura Robson and Joanna Henderson, and pretty sure one if not both of the Ren sisters.  The boys I recognised were Cox and Willis, althiugh they were supporting Evans and then hanging around with him for the rest of the matches.  I think Smethurst was with them too.  Hutchins also watched quite a bit, as did Goodall once his match finished and Fleming would come in and out.  Keothavong was wondering around a bit too.  I'd say there was maybe a peak of about 60-70 in the latter half of the 5th set of the last match, with an average of about 30 throughout the morning.
