QR1: James Ward WR 162 v (wc) Mousa Zayed (QAT) UNR

If James can get past the 17-year-old Qatari, he could face 5th seed Martin Klizan in QR2. Klizan is the Slovakian no. 3 and played two singles rubbers in each of Slovakia's DC ties last year so is more than likely to be one of Wardy's opponents in the February DC tie.

Hard to see James not winning the first match, then it gets tougher!!

Really big year for James where hopefully he can build on last year's successes. Here's hoping for a good start to the season.

Good start. Heres hoping he can keep on winning.

James should be looking at breaking the top 100 this year

Fleming/Hutch top seeds here but have Kas/Kohlschreiber in R1. Can't be bothered to look it up but did they not lose to them at Wimbledon?

Nah that was Kas/Peya (and I didn't have to look that up ) but Kas/Kohlschreiber have had some success together in the past winning a couple of titles so a tough first round draw.

Bit of a surprise to see Fletch top seeds here.

 He twice had a mini break and had a set point on his own serve.

Missed chances in the tie break were followed by a missed break point in the first game of the second set which James went on to lose 6-3.

Not the start to the year that we were hoping for.
