good win for neil. after a really good end to 2009 there was big hope for dan this year but he has started very poorly and appears to be going backwards which is a real shame.

Would have expected one of those to have picked up a win but not the way around that it happened.

Great win for Neil and it looks like his 2010 has finally got started but that's a poor defeat for Dan, especially given his promise that he showed last year where he looked to be on the way up the rankings pretty quickly.

Another two good results smile

Alex on really impressive form lately, got to make him favourite vs Neil.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

In the doubles, Neil & Alex had a walkover against the Spanish fourth seeds, Agustín Boje & David Canudas ( biggrin

), so:

QF: Josh Milton & David Savic (SRB) WR 1414 vs (1) Pablo Santos & Gabriel Trujillo (ESP/ESP) WR 462
QF: Neil Pauffley & Alex Ward WR 1566 vs David Estruch & Jeremy Swyngedouw (ESP/BEL) WR 2421

A chance for Neil & Alex at least, I'd've thought. That said, Estruch & Swyngedouw saw off Marc Fornell & Allen Perel (WR 1178) yesterday...

Scratchy · Club Coach

Great results from the boys.
You wouldn't bet against the Wardinator in the next round....the lads on fire!!!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Great win for Alex and Josh against good opponents and Alex has really started this season well.

Hope Josh can make it two Brits in the last eight here which would be a great result to see.

nice results boys

Akhenaten · Pro player

Wow, Alexander Ward is on a roll here, his results here have been 6-1 6-2, 6-2 6-1, 6-0 6-1, 6-1 6-2 & 6-4 6-1. That's not bad.

AWard is pretty much on par with other 19year olds up now - Cox, Smethurst, Willis (ok not Evo) - but who'd have thought that a year or so ago. Well done him.

That's a great result by Milts too.

Don't know what Alex did in the off-season but he should market it !! smile

He simply seems to be a different level at the start of this year. Certainly doing great stuff on clay.

Not just here, but he won a lot of matches, some very straightforwardly ( particularly in qualifying ) in his 2 futures in the USA, the second one where he reached the semi-final.

Interesting to see how he gets on against the no 1 seed, but already has beaten a no 1 seed WR 248 Scoville Jenkins 6 - 4 2 - 0 ret in the USA.

That's a really good result by Josh too.
