james still to play.


Alex Ward seems to be here with his Spanish 'team': James, Alex and Aussie, Dan D., and (presumably) the fun coach guy.

It worked well for Alex in Egypt. And he seemed to enjoy himself.

Difficult to be in a team of three, choosing tournaments and traveling together, though, when there is such a big difference in level - James basically UNR, Dan at about 1000 and Alex at about 400.

R1: (1) Alex Ward WR 389 v Marcelo Zormann WR 815 (BRA) (CH 683 in Oct. 14)

In the dubs, playing with James Allemby, instead of Dan D, as previously, which is slightly strange, given the big difference in level, but probably part of the teamwork ethos, which is all good.

QF:  (1) Alex Ward WR 389 vs Nerman Fatic (BIH) WR 812 (CH = 722 in May)

Alex is a set up, 6-1, against the Bosnian.

You would like to think that Alex will be leaving futures again soon. Appears to be back to his best.
