For Ward - nice views the rest of the week?

Good news is that there is already a LL place and Ward will get it if Pierre-Hugues Herbert beats Mikhail Elgin.

Reeltime · Satellite level

if Ward gets in as an LL, does he still get the 5 points?

No.

Btw, Evo still needs to win another match to stop Alex Ward overtaking him in the rankings next Monday ... and he needs to win two more matches to stop Boggo overtaking him. (Evo is defending a Futures titles and a Challenger Q+SF over the Miami fortnight)
