I guess the next two weeks will tell us quite a lot about whether Dan is ready to make a serious bid to get back to something like where he belongs. If he is fully fit and motivated the tournament is his for the taking.

R1: Erroll Lawrence & Kohlman Lawrence (USA/USA - only in America! disbelief ) UNR vs Alex Blumenberg (BRA) & Marshall Tutu UNR

And Dan Evans has the first set 6-4

Here's hoping his knee (and his head) hold out. Go on, Dan !

After a 1st set "warm up", Dan romped away with the 2nd to win 4&0

Hopefully the first step on the long road back up the rankings.

I really hope so. It would be fantastic to see Dan fully fit, fully motivated and for the GB public to really get behind him.

But well done, Dan, and good luck in the next round - nothing more to say really - am watching this space . . .

If he demonstrates a good enough level over the next few weeks I would hope that he gets a qualifying wild card.

If he demonstrates a decent level of form it would be madness to deny a qualifying wild card to a player good enough to come through qualifying while granting ones to players who, with the best will in the world, probably aren't.
