Really chuffed to see Dan and James get through
Would be super to see them both make the MD. Lots of work still to do but both are more than capable of getting through

OMG I didn't even realise this had started. Thought draw was today !!! Would have loved to follow Dan's match.

Bit gutted that there is no way of watching this on catch up but really please for both guys. Novikov may be a tough match for James but he can do it. I'm definitely backing Evo to qualify now though!

I know they invoked the heat policy yesterday, but you've got to feel sorry for the two French Maximes (Chazal and Janvier) who played for four hours, in a match that ended at 15-13 in the third set.

NB Well done to James McGee too for winning his QR1 match yesterday.

Should be able to watch Dans match back from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPrB0aixLVI

Thanks Madadman. This wasn't working earlier in the day while matches were still in play or even when I checked again after the matches were over - it was only showing the last 4 hrs of play. Glad it's working now. I might wait til I have time free Friday morning to watch the second round or is tonight's match not on the right court for this?

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

They are only showing one court live on their youtube channel, Showcourt 3. Although they did switch to show some play(briefly) during breaks on court 3 from other courts. Wheather the footage of these is avaliable on bet365 or something i wouldn't know.

Im here courtside. Cold and windy melbourne. Still two ladies matches. May be a long wait.

Sounds like a British summer and to quote Jess Glynn
" there's no place I would rather be"
Hunker down with a cup of Bovril and enjoy.
