3 breaks of serve so far. Poor call from the umpire at 30-30 in the 3rd as Evo couldn't hit it as the line judge had moved forward too far, so he had to pull out of a shot. Umpire should have called let. Dan not happy!! It's at 14 mins in the stream if you wanted to watch it.
Finally a hold as Evo is 3-1* up

That was ruddy ridiculous. I went back and watched from a few points before and the guy was prancing about from the centre line to the sideline far too far up. That space is for the players, mate. Dan was clearly behind in the point, but he is right that the ball was on his racket to at least lob back. The line judge on the next point of course then absolutely coincidentally went back to a much more reasonable position. Poor, both by the linesman who knew he impeded Dan and kept stoom ( although I believe Dan said he uttered a quiet 'sorry' at the time to him ) and the umpire who should have seen it.
