The 2 that should have won did which is what matters.

Every hope of getting 2 qualifiers here.

Better performances from both Dee and Goode this week by the looks of it

I was expecting double bakery for both. As Smidster says, the important ones won.

steven · Tennis legend

Both qualified, but weren't rewarded with the best of draws:

FQR: (q1) Alexander Ward GBR WR 973 beat Joaquin Perez Cases (ESP) UNR by 7-6(6) 6-2

FQR: (q6) Nick Cavaday WR 1205 beat (q14) Xavier Morera-Balcells (ESP) WR 1556 by 4 & 4

L32: (Q) Nick Cavaday WR 1205 v Thomas Cazes-Carrere (FRA) WR 698
L32: (Q) Alexander Ward GBR WR 973 v (2) Daniel Danilovic (MNE) WR 549

Winners to play each other in R2.

I tell you what, our lads and lasses can't avoid the shocking draws this year so far! If we aren't facing each other in the early rounds, it's the first or second seeds!

IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY! *shhhhhhhh!*

And so it came to pass:

Nick had an easy win over Cazès-Carrère by 2 & 4 ( biggrin

), while Alex accounted for the second seed in three, 7-5 4-6 7-5! biggrin

Typical bloody Brit luck! disbelief

As Silver says, it's a conspiracy!

Cracking news

Ward has made an encouraging start to the year, with points in last 3 events, so maybe not the 'one event wonder' he was beginning to look like

wolf · Tennis legend

Terrific results by the boys!

steven · Tennis legend

I think the Wardinator's turned it into a very good draw by beating the no. 2 seed

- a guaranteed quarter-finalist in a Spanish Future from two Brit qualifiers ranked out side the top 500 is not to be sneezed at!

Alex proved last year that he can beat much higher-ranked players without really following up at all, but he's started this year looking like he just might be able to do it more consistently.

I might just take my words back now wink

Well done lads! Definitely the best way to shut me up! biggrin

Not that shutting up makes much of a difference, I'll just drivel in different ways...

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

A great couple of results. And may the best man win in rd2

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Yay, guaranteed quarter-finalist

That's the consolation prize from them now meeting each other. . .

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, exactly -when I was bemoaning the draw, it was because there seemed to be a serious risk of Danilovic doing a double Brit-bash, but Alex has turned it into a great draw I think.
