Very efficiently done, and at Dan pace very quickly done

Very comfortable in the end for Dan and he largely played within himself for much of the match. Sijsling should be a much tougher test tomorrow but if he gets through that he will be solid favourite against either Barrere or Sakharov in the semi final.

Evo and Sijsling are actually the only two seeds left but the seriously under ranked Tobias Kamke remains.

I too noticed that there are only two seeds remaining. Worth noting that Sijsling hasn't has a great start to the year. A statistician would make Dan a heavy favourite on recent form. TK is a quality player who is obviously coming back from injury. He won in Kazan, Russia just a couple of weeks ago. I hope they put Dan's match on in the evening tomorrow so I can watch. Good luck mate!

6th match, not before 17:30 local time (16:30 BST) but chances are it will be a bit latter.

Making winning a habit!

If he can get through the next one, has a great chance of another title

He's right at career high ranking I think in live rankings the quarter final winner here will prob take the title.

Sidorenko has just beaten Kamke in 3 sets. There are a lot of points on offer without having to beat any highly ranked players. Let's hope our man can make hay!

Doubles on court, followed by enough doubles assuming Kamke has had enough rest and then Dan, so looking at 6pm in reality.

paulisi · Tennis legend

Jonny has just lost his doubles, so Evo should be on court very soon.

Evo goes a break down at 2-3*

Sijsling about to serve for what has been a high quality 1st set, at *5-4

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Sijsling just too good at the moment. Getting to the net at every opportunity and volleying exceptionally well.

First set gone. 6-4

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Out of nowhere, Sijsling, throws in some errors and Dan breaks for *2-0

Miriambee · Futures level

Dan 2-0 up in 2nd set.
