20yo Lim reached the semis in Beijing as a qualifier and beat Gabashvili in Bangkok this week to makes the QFs there. Ito beat Boggo in LA Q but of course Jamie's fellow Scot Flembo upset him in Pingguo earlier this year.

James is in the top quarter with top seed Lu WR 82, Jamie in the bottom quarter with 2nd seed Schüttler.

that's tough for Jamie, Ito's at the top of his game though so it was always going to be tough. As expected from Ward, straights or 3 sets doesn't matter, its the 'W' that counts.

Dino v. Zopp is second on court 5, with play starting at noon local time.  Shanghai is 7 or 8 hrs agead, can't remember exactly....

Its a good opportunity for him to win good points without having to beat anybody ranked above him.
