Now at 3-4* in the 2nd set but somebody is taking an MTO.

Probably not the way Evan wanted to win, but given his own history of injuries, I think lady luck owes him a few.

Another point in the bag and on to the next round.

Well done to Evan (think it was 6-4, in fact, in the first set - pretty close).

Vilardo made the semis last week, before losing to Kevin G in three sets, so good luck there too.

It was. Error corrected.

Tough start for Evan who is 1-3* down in the early stages of his R2 match.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Evan lost the 1st set 3-6 but is currently 1-0* in the 2nd.

Although the Italian is ahead on overall points won, in terms of BPs, he is 1/3 whereas Evan is 0/3, so not a lot in this match.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Evan has fought his way back to take the second set 7-5

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Evan's winning run comes to an end as he goes down 6-2 in the 3rd to the Nº 7 seed.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Pretty much anything after last week was going to seem a bit pale in comparison.
But a big well done to Evan - another very solid couple of matches, against good opposition.
