L32: Josh Milton WR 356 lost to (3) Teymuraz Gabashvili (RUS) WR 128 (CH 59 in 2009) by 2 & 2

L16: (4) James Ward WR 140 beat Jamie Baker WR 261 by 7-6(4) 6-3

QF: (4) James Ward WR 140 v (6) Konstantin Kravchuk (RUS) WR 185 (CH 126 last Nov)

James is now on an 11-match Brit-bashing streak and looks to have kept himself in the top 150, which is a good start given the number of points he is defending over these two weeks from a Futures title and a Challenger QF in Spain last year. He has played Kravchuk once before, in QR1 of the ATP main tour event in the same city last year, when he lost 4 & 6, but given his improvement since and the fact that Jamie B got the better of Kravchuk in three tiebreak sets in Astana last week, he'll be hopeful of revenge, you would think.

Go'ed Wardy lad! You're the British No2 lad and you showed it.

If he can gun Kravchuk down he'd be a strong favourite to make the final from the top half

Nice win from Wardy but he has no chance of winning the tournament.....if the L32 is where he ends up after winning in the last 16!

Oops! Copied down, changed the second L32 to L16, forgot about the last one.

QF: (4) James Ward WR 140 lost to (6) Konstantin Kravchuk (RUS) WR 185 (CH 126 last Nov) by 3 & 3

A bit of a surprise, I really thought Wardy was going to win this match.
