A really enjoyable read


 I wonder what Harriet Dart said to him? Did she take his comments personally?

 Missed this at the time. What a good read! Enjoy Dans constructive honesty and I hope its really helped him to get through his slump before yesterday.

Interesting new stats from the ATP , this one shows Evo (and Bublik) lead the way on tour in terms of shot variety. Which we may have expected but here it is analysed and confirmed

 For anyone who gets to listen to this, its really good. It looks at Dans form early this season, goes through his washington and Davis cup resurgence , how he never lost confidence as he was training well; went to the Bolletieri camp ahead of the us summer and that was great for him, that silly Atlanta loss never impacted his confidence as he knew he was playing well and how the Shevchenko win at Washington played him into form. 

it goes through his drug ban and how that was one silly night at a party which he regrets and has changed his lifestyle, his wife now travels the world with him and how he loves the travel and the training and the play - he enjoys playing places like Stockholm, Vienna, Paris as the events have history but wishes new venues would come on more in general as it is fascinating to visit new places. 

he seems like a chap who is happy with life, happy with his game despite the ups and downs this season and clearly has no plans to jack it in anytime soon!

Videos online of Dan practising with Djokovic today in Marbella. Good to see Dan has fully overcome his injury.

Just looking at Dans results sheet.

500 points Winner Washington 500
180 points SF Barcelona 500
90 points L32 US Open
90 points SF Marrakech 250
35 points R32 Shanghai 1000
25 points R16 Los Cabos 250
25 points R16 Adelaide 250
11 points R16 Surbiton CH 125
100 points (10x10) for losing first match in Slams/Masters
And 9 other times first match at 250/500
 
10 out of 12 times losing first match at Slams/Masters
16 wins in 26 tournaments
16-25 win loss
And he is ranked 45

Genuinely hate it when people say this kind of thing but if it wasnt for Washington he would be ranked 109.

 And those 10 ten pointers help quite a lot for just being highly ranked. Dan keeps those 500 Washington points through until August or so. So he could actually pre defend them and maintain or keep his ranking. 

quite a stark picture.

Hes got little to defend in IW or Miami, could help him a lot if he gets a few wins.

 Yes, stark re the proportion of his points from Washington, and thus his relative performance the rest of the year.

I wouldn't at all be describing these 10 mandatory 10 pointers as help, considering all DEs get at least these points, and even if you took these total 100 points purely off Dan he would still be WR 51 as against his actual WR 45. What would very much help is actually winning more matches at mandatories rather than just pick up the 10 points.

 Good points and well made. Agree re winning, Dan always seems to get people writing how well he played, but his results dont follow, currently. For over 12 months really, apart from Washington. Interestingly, no grass on the list, so maybe he is one Brit who can use the grass season to get points this year.

His race position, is 200 plus - early days though.
