Huh?

His coach, Darren Tandy, is fighting cancer.

Thought I'd flick livescores on just to see if Wardy had started yet, and was just in time to see him wrap up the win 6-3 6-4
Well done James, keep it going.

Good

It's at least a good sign to see James return the 'duff'!

There are now no other seeds left in Dino's half of the draw, Nguyen having despatched Kudryavtsev (7) & Bega Devvarman (4), both in straight sets! Three survive in the top half.

Robin · Lower Club Player

Good stuff, well done James. Confidence must be slowly returning and the prize is the Davis Cup second spot.

Yes, much easier to carry around a burden when it is shared than when people are just getting at you for playing badly.

Got love play being suspended because there was a monkey on the court !

Yes, I was thinking, a very sad release, but a release nevertheless.

Well done, James.
