Well done Dan !

As previously stated when you look at it from a non British Tennis fans perspective he is a very bad draw for his opponents in a Qualifying tournament. He was suspended as opposed to injured for a year, prior to that he was focused and in the form of his life and in Australia. Technically since returning he has been consistent with his previous level and progressed rapidly through the rankings, generally his performance has been limited by lack of conditioning, he has now had time to improve this and played competitively for 6 months. He has insight into what he needs to do, is motivated and now values his talent. From an outside perspective looking in I would simple say Bring it on.

However, Dan is Dan and we are British tennis fans so the pessimistic approach, not walking on cracks in the pavement and saluting magpies is entirely the right one and I of course will stick to this rigidly. I do have some concerns about some other posters, (flamingowings excluded who appears to have exactly the right attitude) CD, BiS who are very unlikely to be able to stick with the programme and therefore take full responsibility for Dan bowing out before the 4th round.

According to the Tennis Talker Jay lost by the same score that Dan won by....

To be expected I suppose after the length of time away, perhaps time to step down a level and get some points and some confidence back. Very little to defend in this first part of the year as I recall, had a wrist injury this time last year.

Edit - Jon H just beat me to it....
