Great play from 0-30 to prevent the double break.

1-2*

As for Dan's ranking. If he loses tonight the highest he can go is WR 146. With five challengers next week I would expect at least 2 or 3 people to go past him.

How exciting was that first set! LOVING IT!

Dan doing himself proud again, Robredo is such a wily competitor though and you can see why he's got such a reputation for toughing out matches.
Would love to see Dan come through this one but its a heck of an ask from here at a set and 3-1 down.

Poor game to go down a double break. To come back from this would be truly miraculous.

1-4*

Second set ends quickly. 6-1 to Robredo.

with 4 drop shots in one game (2 successful, 2 not) you know that Dan has sort of given up on the game (and the set).

Beginning of the third will be interesting.

Tommy very concentrated and focused.

And that's the second set gone with 3 breaks of serve against.. worth a cheeky fiver on Dan to win in 5? ;)

A more energised start to the third from Dan but Robredo looking very solid

*1-2

Greg Rusedski one again showing his tactical nous. In the space of two minutes he goes from saying that Dan need to avoid long rallies to then bemoaning him making too many unforced errors.

4-4*

Whatever happens now it is great to see that Dan hasn't just faded away after the second set.

RJA · Hall of fame

Two double faults from Robredo and two great points from Dan and he breaks

*5-4

Evo breaks! Dan to serve for the third!
