Out of interest, does anyone know when Dan decided to become Vegan.

Not sure when, but Jamie Murray was talking about it at the Davis Cup, I think it must be quite a recent thing. Dan certainly is looking very slim these days, not sure if that has helped him, presumably it has

Yes, if you cut out meat you will almost inevitably lose weight... We have a son who is fully vegan and he is decidedly thinner than he used to be.

Not if you replace it with chocolate and crisps as I would end up doing wink

Yeah, my vegan cousin is a pretty solid person, won't get blown over by a puff of wind, that's for sure - thanks, largely (

), to an over-fondness for vegan ice-cream

Haha yeah, there are always paths to putting on weight wink

Dan playing Rotterdam in Feb, excellent event to play. 10 top 20 entered

JonH comes home · Tennis legend

Dan is also entered into Marseille, week after Rotterdam

www.menstennisforums.com/threads/marseille-entry-list.983679/

So he is playing in succession:

ATP Cup
Adelaide
Australian Open
Montepellier
Rotterdam
Marseille

Busy start to the year. He is defending points from Australian Open (70), Quimper Challenger (48) and then onto Delray Beach where he has 168 points from the Final there (and qualifying I think) to defend. Presumably he will move onto Delray again, but 286 to defend by end of February, no wonder he is planning a few events. Of course, he has managed to 100 points this week already so looks in good shape.

Dan won't be playing Delray this year - it's the same week as Marseille

Of course. A European indoor winter then.

Dan could be pushed back to WR 32 in Monday's rankings by Serbia"s Dusan Lajovic

Still yes either way a great effort, well up on his existing CH 41 and rather well timed for an Aus Open seeding. So he will be bracketed there against non seeds for the first 2 rounds and a top 8 seed for the L32.

Certainly looks in the form to make that L32 and then see where he is, that top 8 seed or maybe it will have opened up.

OER has Dan at WR32 in the live rankings on 1324 points - just behind Taylor Fritz on 1335 points (who is +20 for ATP Cup, and -45 from Auckland)
