Week 44 - ATP Masters 1000 - BNP Paribas Masters - Paris (indoor hard)

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Evo has Lucas Rosol in qr1. Andreas Seppi is the other seed in his section.

QR1: (q2) Dan Evans WR 60 (CH = 53 last month) vs Lukas Rosol (CZE) WR 104 (CH = 26 in September last year)

Berankis or Seppi (11) if he wins that one.

Rustie · Junior player

Remarkably tough draw for a seeded player.

Glad to see him though, thought he might have called it a year.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Regardless of how Evo does here it has been a quality year for him, a good weekend to be out of Brum indeed a Villa win on Sunday and 2016 will have been a mighty successful one for young Daniel.

I would love to see him have a brief period of R n R and then take holy orders for 2017 which if he stays fit should set the foundation for the peak years of his career.

It is great to see him at a level where he can really plan out an exclusively ATP main tour schedule and prepare properly for the slams. A hardcore off season a year of good health and abstinence; with no dewlap or handles of love and the man is set to play some top top tennis. Get some big wins (so close to beating Stan this year, with handles and dewlap) and making his family and himself financially secure for life.

Allez Evo!

Evo has been replaced in the draw.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

I think Evo is out, which is very disappointing. The ProTennisLive scoring app (on the ATP website) has him replaced by an Alt (Pospisil). I was looking forward to seeing how he would do....

According to the man himself, his racket bag didn't go on the same flight as him.

I do hope he can see the funny side.

He didn't sound best pleased with his day trip to Paris !

Rightly not. That's a pretty rotten thing to have happen.

Jan · Hall of fame

That's horrendous.

What a sickener! cry

Priesty · Challenger level

Worse places to have a day trip to I guess....

JonH · All-time great

This may sound harsh but having made the trip, wouldn't you borrow some racquets and at least give it a go? Or am I misreading what has happened?!

JonH · All-time great

I should add I do understand how personal racquets are and clearly borrowing some would not be ideal at all, but if he was in Paris, and for a masters event, surely it would be worth the effort and possible to get some replacements from the racquet company who will have reps on the ground at a big event like this.
