Federer beat Evans

6-3 6-4

paulisi · Tennis legend

Federer played pretty well on his comeback - he had over 3000 turn up just to watch him practice....

Hev giving Bencic a decent match 5-5 first set.

Hev lost the first set 7-5 came back from a break down to win the second, but fell away in the third.

Miriambee · Futures level

Just played the mixed doubles, lost (unsurprisingly) 4-0 4-1.

Heather had a set point at 5-4* in the first. Played ok but I'm not expecting great things.

Hev says this is the new team name for her and Dan - inspired

Team WAT/EVA sounds better than team GB... 2 of the most relaxed players out there as well!

It was on the officail scoreboard... Cav shouldn't take credit for that.

I don't think she was. She was just highlighting it and broadcasting it. And good on her - it's a great one. As Indy says, we failed, C minus, must try harder .....:(

Hev lost in 3, Evo in straight sets.

I think mixed team comps could become way forward for the ITF - if the two formats would get together and talk....

DC format
Men's singles
Women's singles

Men's doubles
Women's doubles
Mixed doubles

Reverse singles.

The same format as the World Student International team competition. I like the format but can't see a away of fitting it in.

PaulM · Tennis legend

Hev again with a decent effort. Played very nicely in parts but she never looked like winning really. At least she's getting good court time but she's going to need some soft draws in the weeks to come I think.
