evo on the receiving end of a breadstick. Let's hope he can hold serve in this set 7-5 1-6 *0-0

Break point here.....come on Dan....

Deuce.....rats....

Add out....another chance.....

Heck of a long point....wonder if something has happened.....

Yes....Dan has a 2-0 lead in the third!

I am starting to really think that both Ward and Evo can make the main draw....slap me for being too optimistic....but after that bread stick Dan has come out on fire.

Well done, Messrs Ward and Evans. 13.6% chance of making the FQR, eh? Devvarman a tough, though not impossible opponent. And glad to see that they've put Mr Evans on late!

In other news (I feel a bit like a broken record on this, but it seems worth noting nonetheless), Mr Brooklyn and Ms Wetmore are now two matches away from a WC into the main draw of mixed doubles. Next up are Matija Pecotic and Lindsay Graff, like Brooklyn and Wetmore an international pairing (CRO/USA) who share a US university team connection.
