So far, all the GB matches have had the winners I expected ... in the remaining two, I was expecting Evo to win and Ed to lose.

Ed has just taken the 2nd set 7-5 v Marchenko

Evo is 1-5* down to MdlN

Ed, well, doing an Ed. Never going to blow someone away, but hard to beat.

Dan. Please tell me he has prepared 100% in the correct way for this match - a match most of us would expect him to win well (even against a higher ranked opponent). The first set scoreline, against a clay-courter opponent, has a lot of the "shock factor" similarity to that match against Ashley Hewitt at the recent Newcastle $10k, when Dan may or may not have been fully prepared to play.

Looking a bit deeper, MdlN has a 4-4 record in Wimbledon qualies, so he's not another Pella. Not someone you'd expect Dan in his current form to take bakery products off either though, obviously. MdlN lost from a set up in QR1 last year (to Kudla) but went an early break up in the 2nd too. Dan has just broken back though. 1-6 *1-1

Really impressed with Ed's effort so far, albeit only following the live scores. He seems to struggle to hold on most games but in the end he's been succeeding most times against an really high quality opponent. He just keeps battling. I really hope he finds a way to pull off the win, it would be fantastic for him.

Dan couldn't serve out though, but he will get another chance. 5-2*

Ed on the brink with MArchenko serving at *5-4

Marchenko wins 7-5 in the 3rd ... didn't expect Ed to get that close though!

Ben Rothenberg: "Dan Evans gets code violation. Evans: "Ball abuse?!? Is that abuse of a ball?!?" Chair umpire: "That is what we call it, yes."

Disappointed for Ed but that seems like a really top effort.
