And he's done it

And another GB winner - can James make it 3 quarter finalists.

And Brydan pulls it off - in two hours 31 minutes & 30 seconds!

L16: Brydan Klein WR 196 defeated (1) Marcos Baghdatis WR 59 by 6-3 6-7(4) 7-6(5) biggrin

Sam Groth now the only seed left standing!

****

QF: Brydan Klein WR 196 vs Luke Saville (AUS) WR 220 (CH = 152 in February this year)

He definitely deserved that.

And sorry Jeff, that was badly worded, I just think you're very cynical at times.

I know Baggy isn't what he used to be, but surely that's a very good win for Klein.

I see Wardy is taking his Wimbledon preparation very seriously, all the way down to his choice of attire.

*1-1

Apart from a certain James Ward wink

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

That was tight - but James did it 8-6 in the tie-break . . .

('it' being the first set, just in case anyone thinks he's won the match . . .. )

Ward has the read of Novikov serve now and breaks to lead *3-2 in the second

freerider · Futures level

ward wins 7-6(8) 6-4

freerider · Futures level

thought he played relatively well.
Would like to see him play more aggressively on the return of serve.

Up against Groth in the QF - if Ward can continue to serve well he should be able to do the business. Groth obviously a big server so I think the match will follow much the same pattern as this one

goldenboy · Club Coach

Wow the title isn't half there for the taking if James can get past Groth... One match at a time though. Aussie will start as favourite for sure.
