Dan Evans beats Marcus Willis 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (7-4) in the greatest match ever played in SW19...

Evans really stepped up in tiebreak. Willis saved one match point with hotdog followed by forehand pass and a second with help of net cord. Couldn't save a third. It's all over.

It's a very unflattering description of the venue at the beginning of that article:

[Wimbledon in 2016]  is a far cry from today when they [Dan & Marcus] walk out on to a makeshift grass court on a croquet lawn in front of an apartment block to face each other in the second round of pre-qualifying.

& an interesting final paragraph:

Asked if it was a shame that either Willis or he have their Wimbledon hopes ended today, Evans replied:  "I'm not sure me or Marcus add too much to Wimbledon.  It's a great tournament even if we don't play."

 Thank you!!

Anyone able to find current status in the Bambo/Klein and Glasspool/harris matches?

reading the Julian Johnson twitter feed it seems they are both one set all but not sure...

Well done Dan, I hope Marcus hasn't taken too much out of him. Jack has certainly had an easier match based on score.
