Totally blown away by what Dan's done here.

Just reiterates that so much of this game is in the head.

Jan · Hall of fame

So so very impressive. What a brilliant display!
Very pleased for Dan!

this result is fantastic for british tennis. we ave relied to much on henman, rusedski, murray. i think this is the best result for a brit since andrew foster got to the fourth round of wimbledon many years ago. brilliant stuff. come on dan

Sim · County player

$93,000 for winning 2 matches - that's twice his earnings for the rest of the year - welcome to the premier league Dan

I wouldn't say that. Dankevic is getting some of the best results of his career right now. He must be inspired by the three young Canadians making great strides in the game right now. I'm sure Canadian tennis fans would have said the same about the Evans-Tomic match too.

That said there's no reason why Evans can't make the fourth round now.

Ps Jack are you sure he's only in the top 150 now. Two wins and three qualifying rounds must surely bump him up more than 20 odd places no?

Jack is correct. Estimated at the low 140s.

Around 143 I reckon.

i was surprised when i saw a tweet about it and went to check. according to this site live-tennis.eu/ (which is usually fairly close) he is around 146 at the moment.

And he has a whole heap of points coming off soon so it's all going to be all over the place
