I thought that the irony was that Dan made the first FH unforced error because, for about the first time in the set, Klahn actually hit a half-way decent sliced BH - took everybody by surprise, probably even Klahn.

Dan almost gave it away there from 40-15. Very careless but thankfully Klahn can't convert on either bp.

Klahn really into his rhythm on serve now, powers through that game for 4-3.

Jan · Hall of fame

Should have turned in half an hour ago...must go now.
Really hope Dan might be able to find a way to win.

Big hold again from Evo, nervy times, and weird how much his level has dropped, but good to see him fighting.

4-4

But I don't like the momentum at the moment. Dan seems to be hanging on. Earlier he was dominating.

GSM Klahn. Dan loses from Championship Point for the second week running.

GSM Klahn

v frustrating loss there for Evo, not trying to be harsh, as huge strides and big positives, but this match looked his for taking.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Gutted

TMH · Futures qualifying

He lost it when he threw away the *4-3 lead in the 'breaker with three really tame errors before Klahn even had a chance to make it a rally. That and the UE on championship point. Really disappointing stuff.

Klahn played a blinder of a last game.

Real shame. But excellent match from both guys (poor first set from Klahn, poor TB from Dan).

So close . . . .

khlan served very well 3rd set not much evans could have done

kundalini · Specialist Reporter + Intermediate Club Player

Klahn did come up with a couple of big shots in that final game, a brilliant bh down the line that set up an easy volley and the super running forehand pass that gave him mp.
