Great win for James, best win in terms of rankings for the year and also his most convincing win on the challenger tour this year.

Wll probably play 7th seed Bobby Reynolds next who's current ranking is 116 having won the Leon Challenger last week. Reynold hasn't played on the clay since May last year and doesn't have the best of records, I doubt he'd have had much time getting used to the clay here having probably travelled from Mexico late last night or early today, so here's hoping James can reach the QF's!

Typical! Yani gets in as a LL and draws the qualifier Gregorc and subsequently beats him 7-6, 6-2! No justice that he gets the easier draw and Morgan gets Blake!

Somebody on MTF said they phoned the tournament and said Reynolds and Russell both won today but with no info on the score, not sure how reliable this is.

Hope whoever it was was given the wrong messsage! pray.gif  Still nowt for today in the results section of the site & the Facebook wall is the usual disgusting mess of posts by a rude, obnoxious rabble of semi-literate Eastern Europeans desperately worried about their tennis bets & screaming for results.  That said, you'd think the organisers of apparently reasonably affluent tournaments such as this which make no attempt to provide even occasional reliable updates, if they can't manage live scoring, would get the message when they attempt to decipher the posts...  disbelief  mad.gif

Now confirmed  on the USTA site:  James lost by 2 & 4. cry  On the other hand, he & his Croat coach (?!!! disbelief ), Tomislav Peric, had a walkover into the QF against Brzezicki & Estrella & will face Ruben Gonzales & Chris Kwon (PHI/USA), rather than the third seeds (Gucci & John Paul Fruttero), there.

I think it should be compulsory to provide livescore on events above a certain prize money level, and possibly confirmed scores within a certain (short) time scale on smaller events.

There's no point bleating on about Brits only following Wimbledon when you need to be Sherlock Holmes to follow half the tournaments.

Very good point. its hardly too much to ask for the LTA to provide a similar table to Stephens to allow us to follow the players

More good news (for doubles fans! wink ):

QF:  Ruben Gonzales & Chris Kwon (PHI/USA) lost to (Q) Tomislav Peric (CRO) & James Ward by 3 & 4 biggrin

SF:  (1) Rik de Voest & Izak van der Merwe vs (Q) Tomislav Peric (CRO) & James Ward

Surely a round too far for the qualifiers... pray.gif

As murray 2k9 has already said, a very valid point, Armchair.  The recent, LS-less $100,000 (+ H! wink ) Challenger in Johannesburg is arguably an even more telling case in point.  I doubt the organisers stop to consider for even one second the frustration of genuine fans (I don't count the Eastern European yobs who colonise the Facebook walls of tournament sites witless/short-sighted enough to provide one as a substitute for a live score/regular update service among them!) seeking up-to-the-minute news of the fate of the players they follow in the lower tiers! furious
