Tough start, 0-5 down, now brought it back to 1-5, but looks like first set gone in a puff of smoke.

Never give up on Evo though, seen him trounced in one set and then come flying back before. Here's hoping.

Anyone got a link thats working?

Use the one posted earlier in this thread, but just the underlined bit :)

Sorry ignore me didn't realise it wasn't streamed on there.

Dan saves a break point and takes the game after two or three deuces to lead 4-3 in 2nd, not making any real inroads on Sock serve yet though.

Dan still holding his own at 4-3* but hard to see where a break will come from, he's only won 7 points on return in the match, and just 2 in this set so far

First sniff on Sock serve Dan has 0-30

thejester · Satellite level

Thought we'd worked some magic there with our comments Topemp. Dan gets to 0-30 and deuce, but Sock pulls through for *4-4

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Sniff snuffed out!

From 0-30 to 40-30 then Deuce before Sock wraps up game for 4-4

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Now Sock has 0-30 on Dan's serve. Come on Dan!

Danger time as Sock gets to 0-30 on Evo's serve. Dan hauls himself back to 30-30, hits an ace before Sock brings it to deuce (mirroring the last game). Thankfully the result is the same too and Dan holds

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Same pattern as last game in reverse. Dan turns 0-30 into 40-30, with help of 7th ace, Then Deuce before Dan takes it for 5-4

I'm going to stop 'commentating' now, I'm clearly too slow!!

Come on Dan, no better time to break...

Two double faults gives Dan a set point out of nowhere, but Sock slams door shut and holds on for 5-5
