Evans making a meal of this against unranked 34 year old

seagull · Hall of fame

saves set point and it's 5 all

Evo gets 0-40 and still manages to lose the game 6-5*

"Making a meal of this" is beginning to look like a bit of an understatement ...

steven · Tennis legend

It gets worse - he got broken again to lose the 1st set 7-5

Time to wake up and get a grip on this match before it slips away ...

seagull · Hall of fame

Well he may have done just that - early break up in 2nd set 2-0

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

8 points in a row for Evo, very bad losing the first set

steven · Tennis legend

... or not - he's just lost the next 2 games.

Dan had 15-40, Menga held then breaks Dan, seriously Dan get it in order

seagull · Hall of fame

5-3 down Menga serving for it

Evo broken again what a joke, tired of these false dawns our players seem to have, is it too much too ask to just be consistent for a whole year?

... or even 6 months would be nice.

I'm not sure many players outside the ATP top 5 are consistent for that long though!

Without wishing to sound too critical, this is an embarrassing result.

Evo loses 5 & 3 from a break up in both sets to the 34yo WC with a career high in the 400s 5 years ago.

As honk-ups go, that's pretty shonky!
