JL says it's been a good day but now he has to leave, so I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the rest. He's been texting like a demon all day though, so thanks Johnnylad!

I've removed some of the interim updates (not any that people commented on though) to keep the qualifying part of this thread from being too long!

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

can't believe he satyed this long. I've often got fed up watching ITF events by 4pm.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Oh when i was there i'm pretty sure it was Daniel Evans i saw practising on the far court around 12pm. Hes so small, he must be around my height 5'8 or smaller and is quite skinny. He does remind me of Justine Henin in the way he played, well the brief glimpses I saw anyway.

steven · Tennis legend

You must mean Dan Cox, surely?

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

no i've seen Dan Cox before.

This guy looked like Dan Evans from photos i've seen. Does he have a single handed BH?

Salmon · Tennis legend

Dan Cox isn't skinny!!!!

He has one of the few 'ripped' bodies in British tennis, I'm sure.

Check out his arms in these pics and these were from the last year (chances are that he is stronger now) -

Evans, on the other hand, needs to work a lot on his body. He won't be playing outside Britain this year for financial reasons, I think, so he should spend a lot of that time lifting weights.
