James Ward has "great chance" against Vasek Pospisil

James Ward has insisted that he has a "great chance" when he faces world number 56 Vasek Pospisil in the third round at Wimbledon.

The Briton is in the third round for the first time in his career, and will also break into the ATP top 100 for the first time because of his run at SW19.

The 28-year-old told reporters: "I know him pretty well. We know each other's games, so there's not too many secrets. It's a great chance for both of us."

Ward's quarter of the men's draw has opened up following the withdrawal of world number seven David Ferrer before the start of the tournament and two-time champion Rafael Nadal's second-round exit.
