Alex is at least getting a bit more court time courtesy of the doubles:
QF: Tommy Paul (USA) & Alex Ward UNR defeated Soichiro Moritani & Takashi Saito (JPN/JPN) CR 1583 (918+665) by 0 & 2
SF: (1) Gerard Granollers & Oriol Roca (ESP/ESP) CR 523 (247+276) vs Tommy Paul (USA) & Alex Ward UNR
SF: (1) Gerard Granollers & Oriol Roca (ESP/ESP) CR 523 (247+276) defeated Tommy Paul (USA) & Alex Ward UNR by 6-4 3-6 [10-8]
They had a good go!
