Wardy has to win today. No if's or but's. He's 97 on the live rankings. A win today would push him into the 80's. Just feel this match is so important for him going into the second part of the year. Go Wardy. YOU can do it :)
Wishing both Mr Ward and Mr Bedene all the best for their matches today. And obviously a certain Murray.
A win today guarantees James' place in the Top 100 and finally that pressure will be off his shoulders.
Come on GB lads, you can do it :D
16 winners to 3 unforced in that set. Vesely had 10 to 5 - he was hardly playing poor. Just an exceptional set of tennis from Ward. Let's hope he can sustain this. 74% first serve is a brilliant benchmark.
Superstitious part of me doesn't like "using up" breaks in sets when they're not needed. Incredible standard so far, here's praying that James can keep it up.
