Interesting discussions during end chage, I know we have heard it all before but "James doesn't come from traditional tennis background, ie middle class family so was unable to get support from LTA" - Now he has progressed thay are only too keen to support him. That's whats always been wrong with British tennis - don't expect it to change soon!
I think Boggo would have taken this in straights. Eaton would be doing well here!
So many chances for Ward to just finish at the net, Ginepri hitting with no pace at all from the back. Its in Wards hands whether he loses or wins this match.
Ginepri really isn't doing a lot and this match is there for the taking is James can just up his level a little bit and not be afraid to take some chances.
He seems afraid to step inside the baseline as on some of the break points he has had, if he had stepped in with an attacking shot and then moved to the net, he could have won the point, but ended up losing the rally anyway, and was fortunate that Ginepri double faulted on break point in the end.
