RJA · Hall of fame

I can scarcely believe that Dan held serve 10 times in a row under pressure like that. Take a bow son.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Managed to catch the last set. Thought Dan played pretty well in the part I saw.

Is it now a mathemactical certainty that Dan is Top 100 ? Too early on a Sunday morning for me to do the calcualtions.

If so, what a fatastic effort from Dan. I am sooo plased for him. And there is still so much more to come as well.

Michael D · All-time great

Wow, tremendous performance from Dan, he stayed incredibly focused those last two sets after somehow winning the early breaks. A very dogged, highly professional performance, and I thought his tennis improved a bit too. Towards the end of the match it was Kravchuk more regularly under pressure than Dan.

Does that make him top 100 now? If so, hugely well done, Dan, a brilliant reward for some very good tennis this year, may you keep it going through the grass season, we all look forward to seeing what you can do!

Mentally superb, focus very strong, really allowed him to play the game rather than worry about his own performance.

The only chuntering appeared to be motivational

Some beautiful passing topspin backhands.

The claret really suits him!!! He should play in it every week
