On Wednesday Josh faced Italian Elia Albertarelli, a qualifier who had won 3 matches to get to this stage. Josh still suffering from a bad cold struggled with his movement but his overall power on serve and groundstrokes was too much for his opponent and he ran out a comfortable winner 6-0 6-2. On Thursday in the last 16 he faced Felix Schumann from Germany who had put out the 10th seed in the previous round. Fortunately Josh's health had improved for this tougher match and he produced a very solid display, dominating the rallies in a 6-1 6-2 victory. On Friday Josh will play his quarter finals of singles and has also reached the quarters of the doubles with his regular partner Alexander Sendegeya.
