Yes!

L64:  Dan Evans WR 43 defeated (Q) Thiago Monteiro (BRA) WR 80 by 6-7(4) 6-2 7-6(2)  biggrin

Not a bad win over a self-confessed clay court specialist! 

*****

L32:  Dan Evans WR 43 vs (14) Mischa Zverev (GER) WR 35 (CH = 30 in February)

So Mr Evans can beat the world number 80, a clay court specialist, on clay. Sounds like the boy has arrived.

Have both our boys learnt from their Davis Cup experiences in Rouen?

And Mischa's ranking is very much a post-Aussie Open one. Bit of a one-shot wonder.

Dan's got a very good chance.

Most enjoyable viewing. Well done Evo, even managed to get a ball-girl to brush the clay off his back after a rather spectacular fall !!

Super win from Dan

For info, and I wouldn't ever change the current scoring system, and Dan won anyway, but on points Dan 'won' :

123-99 ( 42-39, 37-25, 44-35 )

Best win on clay for Dan?

Also, can't have been easy to keep concentration against a guy who sounded like he was sneezing every time he hit a shot...

As indicated earlier, the winners of Kyle vs Thiem and Dan vs Mischa Zverev meet in R3/L16.

 Thanks Indy, that's interesting. On the real score, it looks like a v tight match. On this way of scoring, Dan truly thrashed the guy. I suspect what this really shows is that Dan got close to winning a lot of games but just couldnt quite convert but that the Brazilian in fact had very few looks in at winning more games than he did.

 

Sounds like   a v good win for Dan.

Whereas Kyle, a 6-3 6-4 winner, 'won' 71-66 ( 33-28, 38-38 )

Revenge!  biggrin

L64:  Kyle Edmund WR 42 defeated Jérémy Chardy (FRA) WR 70 by 3 & 4  smile

L32:  (4) Dominic Thiem (AUT) WR 9 (CH 7 last June) vs Kyle Edmund WR 42

There is no head-to-head.

 

A first 'top 10' win for Kyle ?

Kyle and Thiem have met twice in juniors. Let's just say I am hoping for 3rd time lucky for Kyle.
