Good Lad .

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

and that's the way to serve it out - four good first serves ! No sweat.

Brilliant.

Super win - Evo dominating again from the back of the court. Go win it.

christian · Intermediate Club Player

Get in Evo, comfortable service hold for a 7-6 6-3 win. Dustov had some big shots but Evo looked great at times, if he can cut out the DF's who knows.

No problem, sublime stuff from Evo, a delight to behold.

so happy for dan, love to see him enjoying his tennis, he is definetly reaping the rewards atm

thejester · Satellite level

Great win again from Dan, those occasional lapses only make it more entertaining and when Evo is on form and his head's right, he is easily good enough to be in the business end of these tournaments. Next up is Bradley Klahn - a stern test no doubt, but a much more likeable-looking final then Pospisil was. COME ON DAN!

Just another day in the office for Evo wink

It seems like winning is becoming a habit and a very good one at that.

Would absolutely love to see him pull of the win tomorrow. His performances over the last two weeks have merited a tournament win, so let's hope he gets his just rewards.

Do we know yet what time the final will be played tomorrow ?

The commentator said play starts at 1PM local time but he doesn't know yet if singles or doubles will be first.

A chance we might get to hear from Dan during the doubles match next.

Thanks RJA. The very inconsiderate commentator said that about 10 seconds after I posted my question.

I am not interested in watching the doubles final but really looking forward to the Evo interview !!

TMH · Futures qualifying

Asides from that patch between 5-4, 40-0 and 7-6, 0-2 where his serve went completely AWOL (possibly asides from the TB - I missed that as my computer had a heart attack and had to reboot) a very good performance against a pretty frustrating player. Did very well to raise his game in that first set tie-break having squandered six set points and brilliant in those last seven games.

Two challenger finals (and $100k ones at that!) in a row. He's going places is Dan.

Does have 27 points dropping off next week and a further 36 in September though. But up to 160s in the Race (where James is still marginally ahead). I hope he can keep this form up over the coming months.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

A short interview with Dan - nothing really interesting, but he said that next week he'll fly to Bolletieri's in Florida for a week's training before US Open qualies,

I wish Dan wouldn't start each response with "No yeah..."

In case this hasn't already been posted:

Final: (SE) Dan Evans WR 194 vs Bradley Klahn (USA) WR 147

Everything for Dan to play for...
