Dan played the far better tie-break - more aggressive and more entrepreneurial - with John-Patrick looking (as he often does) rather unimpressive considering his ranking.
Lots of SPs to JP, a couple to Dan - and Dan wins the TB 11.9
But it all went south from there. Dan lost 6-2 in the third.
Don't know if it's related to his back but his serve was pretty poor. You can't have a game like Dan's and then serve consistently at under 50% first serves.
