Copil gets over the disappointment quickly and holds to 15. He is now up to 13 aces for the match but Ward still in front. 6-7(3), 6-4, *3-2

Copil survives a BP and holds. Hopefully the disappointment of not going up a double break will not linger for Ward. 6-7(3), 6-4, *4-3

Arguably his best and biggest win of the year so far. Qualifier spots against Golubev, (WC) Zverev, (6) Lopez and Bolelli so a couple of winnable matches in there.
