Looks like Evo has continued in the same vein of form, must now have a great chance to qualify.

 Looks like he will be playing Cipolla next, the Italian is a double break up in the third set against Reynolds. That would be a very winnable match. However he would likely play Kavcic in the final round and that would be a very different prospect. Kavcic is a fine player and he has just destroyed Ilhan 0 and 1.

 Surely though if Evo can nearly beat Pospisil, he would have chances against Kavcic even if the Slovakian is bang in form.

QR1: James Ward WR 175 beat Jonathan Eysseric (FRA) WR 243 (CH 202 in Jun) by 3 & 1
QR1: Dan Evans WR 179 beat Peter Polansky (CAN) WR 220 (CH 149 last Sep) by 2 & 3

QR2: James Ward WR 175 v (q27) Matthias Bachinger (GER) WR 143 (CH 85 in 2011) - 2nd on Court 8
QR2: Dan Evans WR 179 v Flavio Cipolla (ITA) WR 159 (CH 70 in 2012) - 5th on Court 11

Evo has not played Cipolla before but the H2H for James is 0-2 - Bachinger won 2 & 2 in Mexico City Ch QFs in 2009 and 4 & 1 in Loughborough Ch SFs in 2010. I think it is fair to say James has got better since then and the German has gone backwards, so there's a good chance of this one being more competitive, at least.

Great to see Evo doing so well, let's hope his current form and results will motivate him to fight for top 100.

Mr Evans is scheduled to be on a televised court (fifth and last on Court 11, with an 11:00 am start) as is Ms Murray (also fifth/last Court 17); Mr Ward is 2nd on Court 8 after Karlovic/Bagnis; Ms Baltacha is 1st on Court 6.

For sake of completeness, Mr Brooklyn and Ms Whetmore will also be playing the QFs of the national playoffs for the mixed doubles. And, showing what my predictions are worth, the conquerors of the Wittens and Melichar/Battistone will be playing each other in another QF. assets.usta.com/assets/664/15/OPThursday2.PDF

So if they are on televised courts, i assume they will be streamed. Where can i watch?

Based upon the fact Bally was on a televised court( court 17) and viewers outside the US weren't able to watch the feed, I have my doubts about being to view any matches today.

a rather belated "well done" to Dan - let's hope he can keep up the good work.
Good luck to both Dan and James for later!

I assume that the feed will be streamed somewhere, it's just a case of finding where.

All avenues were investigated the other day with no results, so we will have to be very lucky to get a stream, but you never know.

Basically every match with a GB player today, is a take your pick with the bookies. Wardy/Sam being marginal underdogs. Evo/Bally being marginal favourites.

In order to watch you need to download a VPN client that will change your computer's IP address to one based in the US.

That 'tricks' the US Open website into thinking you are from the States, and lets you watch the stream. They will not show Dan's match if there is an american playing at the same time. There is one stream, and the television network (CBS Sports) selects which match to watch from those available.
