He struggled a bit, but at least he got the win, and it must be a big confidence boost to open the week by winning a 3rd set TB. (and it's now 8 tournaments in a row where he's scored points)

And even better news is that Brewer got in as a LL, and faces Mattia Livraghi of Italy, with the winner facing Evans/Feaver

Evo

Ed

Bah, that's very unlucky for Ed. cry Banana skin last week and injury here.

Well done to Flanagan. Dresden is surely beatable as his clay record is rather poor.

Evo's path to the semis is clear, though. If he plays his best tennis, I see no one there stopping him.

But Evans must be feeling terrible that he isn't getting to play in Canada this week. His whole career now becomes pointless, actually, as Juniors is all that counts in long run.

steven · Tennis legend

Is that 17 wins in a row for Dan Evans?!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Yes!

I wonder if he's travelling with the other players out here or privately?

helki · Futures qualifying

Evo really is on a roll! Great chance for another semi and a cheeky little bit of revenge for Ed.

Great to see Illy averaging futures QF every week atm! Masson has gone to three sets in both matches so far so I'm sure Matt can see a chink of light!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Well done to Evans and Illy, and I think Evans really should win another round and get to the semi's here, which will be a good effort for him on the clay.

Illy's reaching the QF's each week now, so the big breakthrough is just around the corner... I can see him winning a futures title by the end of the year if he keeps this up
