Only surprise there was the first set. James has been on a dreadful run since returning from injury.

I thought the name seemed familiar. Couldn't quite place it though so thanks for the reminder!

Contrary to what multiple websites reported Alex Ward is playing here.

L32: Alexander Ward WR 355 v Arnau Brugues Davi (ESP) WR 271

The winner is likely to play the top seed (some guy called Busta) in round 2.

Edit: apart from the typos, only those who know no better, i.e. (mostly) monolingual Brits, would refer to him as "Busta", that being his mother's name. Should be "Carreño Busta" if you wish to use his full name, "Carreño" for short.

Well yes, but given that I am a monolingual Brit I think I can be excused for calling him Busta, especially when we have a thread on this site called "Busta Watch". So there we have it, it is all Bob's fault.
