Yep - Dan's showing the form of old in the last few weeks. Excellent form in Dubai followed on here(after recovering from shin splints)

I expect him to beat the young pretender.

A win tomorrow in the final should see him comfortably back inside the top 500.

The final has now started and Dan gets broken in the first game

Dan trailing 0-1*

Edit

Scratch that. Just looked again and it now says 1-0* Dan leads. Either the ITF site is messing around again or my eyesight is going. Answers on a postcard please to ........

Dan did go up an early break in the second but Coric hit straight back to level things up.

Dan asked the question and pushed him to 30-30 but Coric is not to be denied. He eventually serves it out and takes the title.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Yes. First set Dan. 7-6(4)

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

2nd set : 2-2

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Come on Dan. After disappointment in Greece and Turkey, it's all down to you.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

If Dan is going to win this, he is going to have to do it the hard way. 1 set all

Coric takes the 2nd set 6-4

RJA · Hall of fame

It's been two and half years since Dan last won a title and having lost his last 4 finals it would be understandable if he lacks a little belief at the crucial moments.
