Joe Salsbury has just graduated from Memphis. Given his score against Ryan H, I hope he decides to give tennis a go.
He normally plays the three grass court futures that start second week of Wimbledon. If his game has improved over the last year he could do some damage in them this year.
Ward about to start. This is a great draw for him and on this surface, especially this court (possibly best grass court in the world in absolute pristine condition), I would be very disappointed if he doesn't win it.
L56: (WC) James Ward WR 155 beat Blaz Rola (SLO) WR 91 (= CH) by 5 & 4
L32: (WC) James Ward WR 155 v (4) Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) WR 13 (CH 12 last month)
H2H 1-0 - James beat Dimitrov 5 & 6 on clay in Span (Castelldefels) back in 2008 - not quite "10 years" as he said in his interview but Grigor was only 16.

Good stuff. Winning the matches that you legitimately should win is an underappreciated gift. Would be surprised if he beat Dimitrov, but Mr Ward has surprised before, so ....
