6-5*

Serve domination but still worth watching. Pospisil just 2 points on return this set, Dan 5.

4 more for Dan as he breaks to love

One set all

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, Evo breaks to love.

3-6 7-5

And I take full credit as I was going to mention the serve domination at *5-5 but I thought no, not the time.

Or perhaps not domination. Or perhaps crowd pressure !

Regardless of how this 3rd set goes, I have seen enough this week to say for certain that Dan still has both the talent and the desire to get back to where he was before. He is so up for this.

Having said that - go get him Dan. Make this yours.

#Allez

Come on Dan.

No breaks in the 2nd set until the 12th game, when Evo breaks to love to win the set!
"COME ON!!" he bellows, as well he might ... and I might have too *blush*

3-6 7-5
"Stayin' Alive" blares out, quite appropriate for the Brit!

The funny part was the guy heard trying to sing along and who didn't know any of the other words.

Dan breaks for *2-0. The backhand cross court pass on the opening point of that game was world class.

JonH · All-time great

Dan really playing well now, great break!

Topemp · Strong Club Player

Didnt expect this to still be going on Thought VP would come thru in that 2nd set, but Dan broke out of the blue and now leads 2-0 in 3rd!!!

the addict · Tennis legend

Brilliant point by Dan to get the break for *2-0

JonH · All-time great

PS dan clearly trying to masquerade as a ball boy!

indiana · Tennis legend

Yay, quite how he won that BP I don't know as I was half watching Pospisil over the net to clout it away and it err came back and in the resumed rally Dan broke.

*2-0
