Luke Johnson has come in as an alt to qualifying, taking what was the top seed's spot since he has been moved into the main draw.

QR1: (Alt) Luke Johnson WR 817 vs Takanyi Garanganga (ZIM) WR 456 (CH 288 in September 2014).

Liam will hopefully be in the main draw,

The last time I checked, the ALT was Rento Tokuda!

As per the draw sheet on the ATP app, Tokuda is the original q1 seed (WR 337) who has been moved to the main draw.

Ah!  

Luke would be better playing US 25k tournaments to get his ranking up.

L16:  (4) Darian King & Peter Polansky (BAR/CAN) CR 596 (445+151) vs Liam Broady & Joris de Loore (BEL) CR 718 (376+342)

So pretty much as SC posted yesterday then

Alex made all the running in the first half of the set but couldn't take his chances and then ended up losing the set 4-6

L32: Li Zhe (CHN) WR 275 (CH = 210 in March 2016) beat Alex Ward WR 313 (CH = 242 in June 2016) 6-4 7-6 (3)

Frustrating defeat for Alex, who didn't attack with anything like the conviction he showed against Liam Broady at Nottingham.

Should have been 2-1 up after three points in tie break, but was 3-0 down, lost first and third points from on top, and never recovered. Good chasing by Li, but Alex lacked the conviction to really put away shots when on top in the rally.

He had however twice broken straight back when behind, Li broke at 2-2 and at 4-4 and Alex broke back both times including when Li served for the match.
