To me, Anderson is the kind of player who'll be around the 100-150 mark for most of his career with the odd good run in an event to get him into the top 100 occasionally. Has a good serve, but the rest of his game isn't quite good enough to be top 100 standard.

Not quite sure what to think of the result in all honesty. Just a very strange match between them.

You shouldn't lose a set from 4-0 up, but it did seem that Evans shouldn't have been in that situation with the amount of break points he saved. Very impressed by Evans saving all of them, but surely if you've blown 10 break points and been broken twice, you'd have expected Anderson to have gone mentally, so maybe Evans let him back into the match which you cannot do.

Great fightback to claim the second set having lost the first the way he did, but shame that he was edged out in the final set tiebreak. Just reading through the thread I got the impression with the way the scores went that it looked to be a match that was always going to be won by Anderson if it went all the way as Evans was struggling more on his serve, and I guess the experience told in the end.

Before the match, if that was the score you'd have been disappointing that he'd lost but felt that he did well to get that close, but now, it seems like a chance missed with the way he lost the first set, and with the draw having opened up.

Is Evans on the list for Vancouver next week then?

No, he's the 9th alternate on the entry list for ATP Washington qualifying.

Ok I read he was on both qualifying lists

I imagine he may also be on the alternate list for Vancouver, but far enough down on it that he doesn't appear in the top few alternates and has no chance of making the main draw cut.

I guess if he doesn't make the Washington cut (last time I looked he was 6th alternate for qualies, but with all the MD WC's to be given out, plus an American ahead of him on the alternate list, so he should sneak in), he'll play Vancouver qualies.

Evo is 7th Alt for Vancouver at the moment ... not sure if you missed him or just mixed up the Vancouver main list and the Washington Q list.

See that Steven he doesn't forget, he remembers when we find his mistakes, watches silently from the shadows, then when you least suspect he strikes. swift like a viper.

I want Evo to do Washington if he gets in. He doesn't have any pressing deadlines (like entry into Slams etc.), so it would be good to have a go at a big event for a change.
