Very likely yet another CH for Evo next Monday, just as for Dan Cox, and it will certainly be further CHs for Kyle ( already from his title last week ) and Oli.
Positive start to the year for the GB men, especially with who it's mainly coming from, after a relatively pretty decent 2013.
C'mon girls, time to support Heather and match the guys.

The highest Evo can go is 122 which is just 1 above his career high. Furthermore a fair few people can also go above him with Victor Esrtella Burgos the most likely to do so (he needs to make the SF at the Morelos challenger where he is top seed)
I should have long realised by now that the movements of other players can quite often negate what may look a likely scenario just looking at the current ranking points list.
Alas, it's not to be three out of three. Henri Kontinen & Mateusz Kowalczyk (FIN/POL) CR 178 (93+85) d Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 142 (66+76) 7-6 (3), 4-6, 10-2
Get the feeling that Ken and Neal are struggling for confidence a bit. They played really well against a couple of big servers right up until the MTB.
At 2-1* up in the MTB, Neal made a really good interception at the net. It just hit the opponents racket rebounded onto the top of the net and dropped dead weight on the wrong side. You could almost see the "here we go again" fear come into their game. The next point, Ken left one that caught the line and from there, the confidence was shot. They didn't win another point.
They are very close to getting some decent results and just need to keep believing.
More on Evo later, but need to get back for Kedders now.
... and now he's just said that it was a toss-up between Kyle and Evo for the 2nd singles spot against the US.
I wondered how long it would take the revisionists to start awarding the win against Querrey to Dan instead of James, but even I thought it would take more than a few weeks ...
