L16: James Ward WR 271 v (2) Vince Spadea (USA) WR 105
Spadea beat Josh 5-7 7-5 7-5 in Tallahassee last month - can Wardy go one better? The Spade's last loss to a Brit was to Greg Rusedski in the 2005 Newport Final (the last title Greg won) and in between that and his match with Josh, he beat Slabba, Eaton & Baker all in straight sets.

GB on a shirt, Davis Cup still gleaming, 79 years of hurt, never stopped us dreaming ... 29/11/2015 that dream came true!
James is also playing doubles: he & his American partner, Geoff Gehrke have a WC & play the American qualifiers, Ty Braswell & Derek Myers in Round 1. Must be in with a chance...
Unfortunately not: they were quite badly beaten, 3 & 2.
