Ward made his Davis Cup debut in Lithuania, where he got the team off to great start when defeating Laurynas Grigelis but could not follow that up in his next rubber, losing to Ricardas Berankis.

After failing to make the cut for a Wimbledon wild card, instead of competing in the Wimbledon qualifiers he opted to play in the AEGON International at Devonshire Park. This turned out to be a great decision for Ward as went on to beat Feliciano Lopez and Rainer Schuettler, who were semi-finalists at The Queen's Club, to reach the quarter-finals. This form was then carried on a couple of weeks later where we defeat Jamie Baker in the final of a Futures Event in Manchester.
