Proving that qualifying last week was no fluke and he is starting for find the previous levels.

 I wouldn't say that yet, but encouraging. Good to see.

 Qualified twice on the bounce. Beating top 500 players regularly. On his way back.

I hope so, Wardy's past success should be great motivation for every British junior with a JCH of 1200 or better who chooses to give futures a go, a decent serve and forehead, dedication and canny scheduling can take you a long way.

FQR:  James Ward WR 772 defeated (7) Victor Durasovic (NOR) WR 452 by 7-6(3) 6-3  biggrin

Qualifiers placed & Dino could hardly have hoped for a better draw:

L32:  (Q) James Ward WR 772 vs José Antonio Rodríguez WR 1472 (CH = 1367 in May last year)

Let's hope he doesn't blow it!

 Has he got a decent forehead. I've not noticed?!

How James Ward managed to make it from his humble background is mysterious.

Makes the plethora of more wealthy GB kids falling shorter than him an interesting situation to look upon. Cos no one talks about Wardy having an unbelieveble set of gifts that hardly ever come along in one person.

 His family moved to Spain when he was 16 so he could train in Alicante with Juan Carlos Ferrrero

No doubles for Marcus after his partner retired from the singles and they now appear to be out of the doubles.

 Wardy beat Peliwo when they last met 6-0 6-1, albeit in 2013!

A bit unlucky yes. Though I know who's most to 'blame' for him just missing out on the singles qualifying draw last week with a ranking in the 600s. In tennis ability terms that should never have been any sort of issue in the first place. 600s !!

An interesting draw, early doors in terms of Wardy's comeback but there is a whiff of opportunity here and the outcome will be a good indicator of his form.
