Good win against a higher ranked player, Match lasted 2 and 3 qurater hours tho, not sure if Dan will have the energy to see him through another round especially against No. 3 seed Darcis

indiana · Tennis legend

Dan wins 4 - 6 7 - 6 (4) 7 - 5. Never in doubt

An err interesting final set, seven breaks and more return points won than service points. Good fighting spirit from Dan though think work to be done on that serve.

Nice to see tennis starting up again, and our first two male matches are Wins which is always nice. Like the others, I'm not convinced Dan will get much further after that break-fest of a match. Still tomorrow's another day.
