Another infuriating defeat for Evo. His career has been the original curate's egg and no mistake. Got to be something to do with his psyche.

He has loads of talent, as evidenced by winning those Davis Cup rubbers, but also has the uncanny knack of imploding on a regular basis.

As I said originally...infuriating!

Are we sure it's not Leyton that's turned up?!

Given that he was on court in Stockholm less than 15 hours ago he might have struggled to make it wink

Alex Ward's result has unfortunately broken today's GB trend from here and elsewhere :

Previously, all GB players seeded to reach semis ( Goodall, Baker. Evans, Golding ) had missed out, and all not seeded to reach the semis had reached them ( Bloomfield, Pauffley, Hewitt, Slabinsky )   disbelief

As Steven pointed out elsewhere GB got 11 players into QFs as seeded ( or at least will do once Milton v Corrie is complete ), if not quite all the scheduled ones. Now they have matched the total of 4 seeded for SFs, if definitely not the scheduled ones, and could yet beat 4.

I sometimes wonder whether we should be thrilled that Dan Evans occasionally overachieves rather than being frustrated that he often doesn't do so well.

Was really struck, when I went back over his junior career after the comments comparing him with Mr Golding. It was a good junior career -- top 20 year end, one G1 singles, a couple of Slam QFs -- and at the time much was made of it. But if people are saying that Golding -- with his GS singles win, top 3 year end, two GS doubles finals, Youth Olympics doubles gold, slew of G1/GA singles and doubles finals/wins, etc. ... and his greater size and power -- "may" make it into the top 100, why should we expect Dan Evans to be much more highly ranked than he currently is? If we compared the people who had similar junior accomplishments to Mr Evans, would we find on the whole that they'd done much better than he has? (Open to being shown that we would!) It's great that he does sometimes play "above his ranking" on big occasions ... but maybe not something we should expect him to be able to do all the time.

Spoken from ignorance ... so happy to be contradicted!
