(*) perm any one from Christian Harrison & Michael Venus/Bozo & Dev or Dino & Chad Rhoden (who he? Some Yank or other!)/Roman Borvanov & Marek Michalicka...

Well, it ain't gonna be Dino & Chad: they lost to to the q2s by 3 & 2 ( ), nor Harrison & Venus (q1), who lost to Bozo & Dev by 4 & 4...
I thought James might be a bit tentative here, since despite this being a good draw for him, in some ways he has everything to lose, but he's being very businesslike at the moment *4-0

1st serve %s James 48% (winning 83% on 1st, 38% on 2nd, with 2 aces and 3 dfs) and Kyle 53% (winning 70% on 1st, just 11% on 2nd, with 0 aces and 4 dfs)

James' superior serving seemed to be the difference. Both played some super tennis at times but mixed in with rather too many ugly shots. Though the Bet365 stream wasn't the best view to get a sense of what was actually happening.

L32: James Ward WR 214 beat (WC) Kyle Edmund WR 515 by 3 & 4
Not spectacularly good from either but decent from both in the end, and the kind of scoreline I'd have bet on before the match if I did that kind of thing. 7 break points each, James took 4, Kyle 2.
