Awful draw, though my concerns about James also having to get acclimatised to altitude have been allayed. Guayaquil is Ecuador's main seaport.

Terrible draw, although if Leon's out there and James can get past this guy on clay, it should bode well for DC.

When you're playing an Argie - a Brit, that is - it's always for the Falkland islands - in their mind, that is.

I really don't think that's true. A mate of mine who lives in Argentina says that it's really not a big issue for the majority of people.

 Has the draw changed, it now has Ward down as playing the OAP clown from Dominican repl or wherever he is from.  As for the other comment, I would be in favour of having a futures, Falklands F1, or maybe it would come under British futures. A nice indoor or grass court event.

I really feel that this is a free swing for James. Nobody's expecting him to win, and rightly so given the surface and ranking gap. Hopefully he can become the second Ward to upset the odds today.

Broken straight back to love though, and Schwartzman holds to love. 8 points in a row for the Argentinian, James to serve *1-2

James chooses to serve and volley at AD-40 and goes on to lose the next 3 points, 1-3*

But Schwartzman refused to allow James to go quietly, giving Wardy 3 BPs with some poor shots. He saves all 3 though, Wardy spraying a couple of forehands well wide and long. Schwartzman has a game point but a lovely pass from James keeps him in it at deuce.
