Eek what's happened to Dan? *0-5

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Dan was bagelled.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

And he was playing all that badly.....

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Beginning to wonder whether he'd have been better off playing Granollers.... Hope he can turn it round in the second set.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

And he finally gets a game on the board: 0-6 1-1*

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Will that be a turning point. Dan was a break down but has just got that break back.

*2-3

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

The wolf boy throws in a couple of errors and Dan gets the break back. Wolf is serving out of his skin. 2-3 in the 2nd

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

4-4 Dan is just hanging in there, but is under constant pressure

the addict · Tennis legend

Dan isn't very impressed with the ladies doubles on the adjacent court - keeps stopping and waiting for them

Jan · Hall of fame

Dan saves 2 MPs.

Not sure Dan is too impressed with the set up at all. No partition between the courts, lack of ball kids etc.

But it doesn't stop him saving two MPs from *4-5 15-40 and leveling up at 5-5* in the 2nd.

JonH · All-time great

Tie break now - they've played 1 hour 45 mins for 18 games. So even wirh a bagel it sounds pretty competitive.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Dan wasn't at his peak, though not dire either. JJ Wolf played monster good tennis and desrved his victory.

thejester · Satellite level

That was an extremely uncomfortable match to watch as an Evo fan. Never a time in the match where I thought Dan was going to get the win to be honest. Just didnt click, although using every bit of experience to try and grind it out.
