BiS would be torn, were he able to travel to one of the South American Challengers, not that Lady Luck has smiled on either of our two boys.  cry

Huh, both the Wards get number one seeds. What a way to treat guests that come such a long way

Oh, poor Mr Ward. That's about as bad as it gets. Make DA and that's your reward. Meh.

That said, you never know ....

Estrella finally gets a break point of his own but Alex saves it then has 15-30 on the Dominican's serve only for Estrella to hold with his first ace of the match.

You'd think that might put the pressure back on Alex but he holds to love, finishing with a 2nd serve ace just to rub it in 6-3 3-1*(and he leads Estrella 9-1 on the ace count)

The Dominican 'fryer' has done it - breaks again to win the match!!

L32: Alex Ward WR 337 beat (1) Victor Estrella (DOM) WR 52 (CH 43 in Jul) 3 & 3

Thanks to Estrella's rise yesterday, that's a career best ranking scalp. Who's the 'estrella' now, then
