From commentator Mike Cation's twitter:

Words can't describe the winds today at the #sacramentoCH. Its going to cause some truly ugly tennis. its a shame. 25mph sustained, 45 gusts

That can't be fun to play in...

TMH · Futures qualifying

Dan squanders a BP then *again* throws away his own service game with a rushed forehand into the net. 6-3, 0-2*.

Dan down a break at 0-2 I see, how's he playing in the conditions today ladies and gents? I'm just picking up the stream.

If I picked up the "quiet" conversation going on between the umpire and a.n.other correctly, he's been asked to look at someone in the crowd to the umpire's left giving coaching signals. Since the American was down that end at the time, I presume it's him who is under suspicion.

As you'd expect really, very scratchy, lots of errors and few winners. From both players. Hard to play his typical aggressive game in these winds.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Trainer on for Dan

TMH · Futures qualifying

Dan taking an MTO.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

My guess is blisters. Umpire said 'we're had quite a few of those this week'

TMH · Futures qualifying

Dan follows up an absolutely pearl of a lob with an inch perfect drop shot to hold. 6-3, 3-3.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

A poor service game 3-5* down

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

3-6, one set all.

Jeff Stelling · Club Coach

Dan being outclassed right now.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Horrible service game by Dan. 4 UEs. He is a break down. 2-1

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

wouldn't say outclassed at all
