View Full Version : James Ward
Qualies have been placed
James has got a Mexican - I'm assuming said Mexican is on a WC Jose Antonio Rodriguez Rodriguez (yes really, that's his full name according to the ATP) and his ranking is 1472
His photo on the ATP site reminds me of a fat Elvis!
Well done, James :cheer::cheer:

Excellent result for James. Straight sets against somebody 400 places above him. Delighted for him.
He played really well too .... the other guy didn’t but that’s tennis. Well take it!
He made the final :D didn't win, but hey it's progress, was his first Challenger final since 2015 :D :D
on to the grass now
Great to see Wardy in a final. Hopefully the run this week has helped his confidence. It will also have helped his ranking, always good. Hope he gets a WC for Wimbledon!

Sadly James lost in the 3rd set. Such a shame but a good run!

Bit of a disappointment but still good run from James!
Sad, but a really good run from him. He put a string of wins together for the first time in a while, and it was really close.

A good week but would have been perfect if he had won the title.
Wardy playing in Mallorca now vs Nicola Kuhn. Wardy leading 6-5 in set 1, with Kuhn serving.
And Wardy takes first set 7-6!
James lost a very close match. 3 tie break sets.
Unfortunately Wardy lost the next 2 wets - both however went to Tiebreaks!
James, playing in Cassis this week is at one set all, and down 2 - 3 in the third. Go James:thumbup:
James wins the match....well done. :dance::dance:
Well done, James - I thought he'd blown it when he lost 2nd set from 5-2 up.

James went out in first round Qualifying in Shenzhen to 2nd seed.
Just beaten Halys (154) in Ismaning Challenger. Well done.
Was an "ugly" win
Ismaning Challenger R1: @JamesWardtennis gets back on the winning trail with some great battling, coming from a break down & *2-5 down in the 3rd to take out 7th seed Quentin Halys FRA WR 153 (CH 102 in Feb) 6-7(6) 6-3 7-6(3)
Well done James. :clap: :clap:

Lines up against the Top seed next round
Lines up against the Top seed next round
Afraid James lost 1-6,2-6 :sad:
James lost 6 - 7 (6 - 8), 2 - 6 to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in his first qualifying round in Doha.
Not bad really, GGL is a fine player - also Wardy only got in as an alternate at the last minute - good to have him back on court - he's not defending any points either so anything he can get is a bonus and Doha is a 250 event
So so close!
Wardy lost 3-6, 6-4, 3-6 in the 2nd round of qualifying in the Australian Open - last set very close despite the scoreline - he was up against the 13th qualifying seed
Wardy won a match! Wardy won a match! broken a long streak of losing matches!
Leon Challenger, Wardy is seeded (which hasn't worked out well for him lately, usually gets knocked out in the second round (bye in the first) or if not seeded plays the top seed in the first round) hopefully my boy (sorry lol) can put a run together
Wardy won a match! Wardy won a match! broken a long streak of losing matches!
Ha! I did think of you when I saw that result!
So pleased to see him get the W at last.
Wardy won another match. Into the QF. Well done.

No problem, 6-3 6-4 for James.
I'M So happy right now, I could cry
I'M So happy right now, I could cry
I am really pleased for him as well. Hopefully this will be boosting his confidence.
Wardy and Liam both in the SF (not against each other) Wardy up first at 9pm UK time - I have beer on standby! either to celebrate a final (we ain't had one for a while!) or commiserating the SF end - I'm hoping for the former obviously
We could end up at the Leon Challenger with either 2 Brits in the final, 1 Brit in the final or no Brits in the final.
Next week Wardy is down to play another challenger, draw not out yet so I dunno if he will be seeded or not

Tie-break in the 3rd set.
This from Steven on Twitter:
Steven @GBtennis (https://twitter.com/GBtennis) 12s12 seconds ago (https://twitter.com/GBtennis/status/1122265308704722944)
James has 4 match points at 6-2 in the tiebreak but Blaž gets on a Rola and saves the lot :-( *6-6
exislander
27-04-2019, 22:27
Rola wins it 9-7!
Rats. Just lost in 3 set tie break, after having 4 match points. However an excellent week for James. Onwards and hopefully upwards.
Oh dear. James really should have taken that match. He had 4 match points. Sad.
Sallydaisy
27-04-2019, 22:31
Rola wins yet another point to get a match point of his own then double faults! *7-7
León Challenger SF: Absolutely gutted for James Ward - the 7th seed had 4 match points at 6-2 in the tiebreak but 14th seed Blaž Rola SLO WR 263 (CH 78 in 2015) somehow survived, 6-7(5) 6-3 7-6(7) :-(
all from Steven
Gutted! apparently he gave his racquet a bit of a thrashing afterwards (which I guess is good in a way, he's annoyed with himself) - Rola is not too bad a player though . Hoped Wardy could finish that off, but give Blaz his credit, to pull that back
Good week overall though for James, picks up points importantly!
Playing right now - just won the first set against qualifier 6-4 - got broken early but broke back - on serve 3-2 in second so far
And he does it :D straight sets

Excellent- caught it as I was going in and out of signal in The Highlands. Well done.
Lost to Kudla 5th seed today, but was over the distance, so he got a set :D
James has just taken the first set 7-6 against Karlovic in the Queens qualifying - keep going James :thumbup:

Couldn't get by Gilles Simon, but still a much better performance by Wardy than last time they met at Queens (ie better scoreline ;) )
Great to see that James has a WC for Wimbledon!

James certainly had chances but Simon was able to find a way through.
Very pleased for James. He deserves it for past services.
Wardy should get a wildcard for Wimbledon any year he wants to play - even if he is 80 LOL
He's also just won his first round qualifying match in Eastbourne, took out 5th seed Lloyd Harris in 3 sets
exislander
23-06-2019, 13:05
Just won 6-3 6-2 against 2nd seed Kudla.
Wardy loses in 5 sets to Basilashvili.
James played a great match and I loved his fight back in the 5th. (Echoes of Glasgow and Isner!) But just not to be. Very encouraging though. Well done James. :clap::clap:
JAMES4578
02-07-2019, 13:48
Certainly great effort from James but not to be- looked very good in the 3rd but Basiliashvil responded. Kept fighting even when it looked like the tide had turnded against him, however could not keep the momentum going after he broke back for 5 all in 5th . still definitely positive signs :thumbup:
James is playing in the Jinan Challenger. Now into the 3rd round. Beat the 6th seed Uchiyama ranked 141 this morning. A good win. Plays Lopez Perez ranked 220 on Thursday.
Sadly James lost against Lopez Perez in Jinan. 7-6, 6-3. Close first set.

Unfortunately, James was beaten By Prajnesh Gunneswaran 6-4 7-6(3) in the second round of the Shanghai Challenger.
James beat Kotov ranked 258 this morning. Into second round of Ismaning Challenger. Well done.
Meanwhile James is into the Semi Final of the Rennes Challenger. I think it’s the first time he has won 4 matches on the trot for a long time. Good to see.
James has just beaten the No 3 seed ranked 150 places above him. So is into the final.
Kamke (248) or Rinderknech (329) next.
