Doesn't look the easiest for a guy who didn't break serve in his five grass court matches and thus not too surprisingly lost the 11 sets.

Still, go James !

James needs to beat Berankis to avoid falling off the ATP singles rankings for the first time in nearly 12 years. I don't hold out much hope but I'd be delighted for him to prove me wrong!

For the record:

L16:  (1) Hsieh Cheng-Peng & Peng Hsien-Yin (TPE/TPE) CR 252 (117+135) defeated Dayne Kelly (AUS) & James Ward UNR (758+0 [though a CH of 233 in August 2011]) by 5 & 4

A predictable outcome.  hmm

James takes the first set on a TB ( including a break of serve ! ) and it's on serve in the second set.

7-6(6) *3-4

Wardy will play the winner of Sam Barry and WC Sidharth Rawat. They have just gone 1 set all.
