L32: (ALT) James Ward WR 247 (CH = 89 in July 2015) vs (WC) Nicola Kuhn (ESP) WR 380 (CH = 196 in April)
L32: João Domingues (POR) WR 215 (CH = 166 last November) vs (ALT) Daniel Evans WR 224 (CH = 41 in March last year)
good to see Dan and James building on their recent form. Excellent news!
Yes, and great that they've both got their ranking back up high enough so they can get straight into challies.
albeit as alternates after 4 players dropped out , but yes !
Good enough for me. I only hope that they justify their places as both of them are easily better players than their current rankings suggest. nice that they're there together too.

good to see Dan playing doubles again, suggests he's in a good place mentally I feel.
Dan under way. Curious mixture of winners and errors !
Failed to break in the first game from 40-15*
Missed the break at 40-0* in the third
Now serving at *2-1
Far more comfortable that the scoreline suggests. Dan won 72% on his own serve, and 45% on return, and didn't concede a break point, winning 3/8 himself.
