Then in the blink of an eye James takes the second set 7-6 Andy one game from victory and Ed breaks back 3-4.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Not to be for Ed down in three 6-3 in the third

KyleM · Lower Club Player

On serve at 4-4 in third, Wardy had a couple of break points in that game.

KyleM · Lower Club Player

Ward just two points from the win at 6-5* 40-40

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Disgraceful error on the FH though to go Adv Sijsling.

KyleM · Lower Club Player

After Sijsling had advantage a couple of times he holds, and so into a tie-breaker we go!

KyleM · Lower Club Player

On serve *1-2

KyleM · Lower Club Player

Ward only 1 from 2 on serve so its 2-3*

KyleM · Lower Club Player

A DF means it is 3-3* at the changeover

KyleM · Lower Club Player

Ward now 5-4* on serve

KyleM · Lower Club Player

And Wardy has done it 7-5 in the tiebreak

TMH · Futures qualifying

Good win that (in spite of Sijsling's recent form - still has good pedigree), hopefully a confidence-builder too.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Good match to get under your belt early in the grass court season. Some coronary-inducing loose forehands when well placed in the rally aside, a decent performance.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Great that the LBs got the win in the doubles, 11-9 MTB

(Klein has his singles so he didn't need the doubles win too )

And Colin F and JP Smith, as well, of course . ....

Edit: which probably should have been in the doubles thread () so I'll add:

Vamos, Marcus !
