Ward Hibbert will do well this year should take care of Ward in the next round. Expected defeats for the rest of the Brits I'd say
Looks a bit of a struggle for Alex in R1, but I would still myself expect him to beat Josh in R2. I think Alex has for a little while been generally playing better than Milton who JWH beat in R1. All the best to JWH for the year though.

Yeah it's interesting to read I have to say. If I were him though I wouldn't be wasting money watching Chelsea. Be better put towards the budget for playing challengers. Neil Pauffley is playing a 15k in Germany it probably wouldn't cost much more to go there than it would to play in Sheffield, especially for those in the South.

L32: (Q) Lewis Burton WR 710 lost to Adrian Sikora (SVK) WR 433 by 4-6 7-6(4) 7-6(6) ... so close! L32: (WC) Josh Ward-Hibbert WR 1252 beat (6) Josh Milton WR 390 by 6-3 7-6(5)
That's a career best ranking scalp for JWH, who plays Alex Ward in R2.
