Now for the sixth seed:

QF:  (6) Carlos Taberner (ESP) WR 311 (CH = 307 last month) vs Alex Ward WR 454

Taberner came though 1&1 today against a 42 yo WC, who had a CH ranking of 157 in April 1998

Always so encouraging to see Mr Ward bounce back from time off with lots of good wins. (Just wish he didn't have to bounce back so often!)

Brilliant news. Hopefully, more than anything, it means he is finally injury free and able to focus on the job at hand.

Alex is very much the aggressor here in the early stages but the German looks solid
In defense

Alex leads 2-1*

Herman is mixing his serve up well and Alex is struggling to get a read on it so far.

4-3*
