Wardy had 0-30 but RH wins 4 straight points. 7-6, 5-7, *1-3

Ward holds to love to at least keep close. 7-6, 5-7, 2-3*

British_is_Best · County player

Hold to 15 for RH. 7-6, 5-7, *2-4

Ward loses a 40-15 lead and its now deuce, got a bad feeling.....

British_is_Best · County player

Unfortunately (and horribly predictably) RH gets BP.....

British_is_Best · County player

And does indeed secure the double break and, almost certainly, the match with it. 7-6, 5-7, 2-5*

British_is_Best · County player

RH holds to love so GSM to the American, 6-7, 7-5, 6-2

Sounds like a good effort from Wardy, shame about not taking those break points when it mattered.

Jeez hurry up grass season, cheer me up a bit

Just not working out this year for Wardy. I think many of us were hoping that he would get himself up to the 150 mark (at least the prediction game would suggest so) but at current rate he is going to have a pretty tough job to stay where he is and indeed remaining within the top 300 looks a bit shaky. Showed he can play very good tennis by getting to 7-6, 5-2* against someone like Harrison but to then lose 11 of the last 13 games is really not that good. Hope he can dust himself down and have a much stronger second half to the year

At the end of last week, Ward was around 360-375 in the race, obviously a couple of wins would shoot him up as his ranking is still good enough for Challengers
