Although Fognini is no hot prospect on grass I still think mentally having an unseeded player and former challenger level comease in Posposil may suit him better.

 I'd agree with that. In terms of level on grass I'd say Pospisil is probably as tough a match if not tougher. However, as you say, on the mental side of things, Wardy will probably fancy his chances more against the unseeded Canadian. And what a potential incentive he'll have with Rafa in that part of the draw!

Excellent bit of journalism from the BBC's Chris Bevan, who happily informs us of the following:

This was only Ward's second career win against a top-50 opponent, following his win over John Isner of the United States in the Davis Cup earlier this year, but again the big occasion saw him produce his best tennis.

 

Clearly his run to the semis at Queens in 2011, including wins against WR14 Wawrinka and WR26 Querrey just weren't memorable enough...

 They aren't the only ones, I suspect they mean in 5 set matches

 If they meant that they're wrong anyway. When he beat Andujar in 2012 he was world #36 I think.

 I realise it's not the end of the world and the coverage is actually pretty positive stuff, but it's very frustrating when a professional journalist can't seem to find 5 minutes just to check the ATP website or something!
