Tennis 2013

[PGW]

Don't rush to switch from hammering at cricket....Evans lost first set 6-1

[PGW]

Playing much better in 2nd set - 4-2 up serving for 5-2

[PGW]

Evans 1-6, 6-3 fair play to him bouncing back - took him about 5 set points to win that final game.

[PGW]

1-6, 6-3, 7-6 fair play to him, come on Dan

[PGW]

3-1 up in the 4th set and serving!!!

[PGW]

5-2 now.....come on Danny boy! Famous win if you can do it.

[cdbearsfan]

He's through! Well done that man.

[PGW]

6-3 what a result - he has now won $93000....and in to the 3rd  round v Robredo (19) or Dancevic a qualifier like Evans.

Who was the last Brummie to make the 3rd rd of USA Open??

I would probably say Anne Jones!!!

Good lad, would be nice to have another British tennis player to keep an eye on, he certainly hits it well but he needs to be a lot more mobile in the later rounds.

Just read on Sports section of BBC that there was a bit of added spice around Dan Evans' victory last night over Bernard Tomic, apparently last year in Miami for another tournament Dan's coach had signed Dan up to practise with Bernard Tomic but his father, who presumably is Bernard's coach said 'No way, you're only a qualifier you ain't no where near good enough to practise with my son'
So even more fair play to the kid. Dan did go on to say it was nothing to do with Bernard but his father.

[PGW]

For those interested, Dan Evans just started on SS3

[PGW]

Evans lost 1st set on tie break 7-6. Playing really well,somewhat unfortunate.

[PGW]

Oh dear 6-7, 1-6

[PGW]

Back in it - 6-7, 1-6, 6-4 a good set for Dan that.
