Alex Ward has reached the main draw of his second of three futures event in the Dominican Republic after an extremely successful qualifying campaign.
Ward's route to the main draw has been relatively straightforward as he has impressively failed to drop a set. His final match was against compatriot Thomas Knights and Ward strolled to a straight sets win for the loss of just five games.
Ward is thrilled at the prospect of competing in the main draw: "I believe that I am in good form and I am excited to play in the main draw, that is what I came here to do. Hopefully I can pick up some valuable ranking points."
The 18-year-old faces an extremely tricky encounter against the fourth seed Jose Checa-Calvo in the first round. The Spaniard is ranked 330 in the world and this will be an extremely good experience for the Brit as aims to cause a shock in the opening round.
