The dream of to 100 by the end of the tourney is still on.

The dream lives on and moves one step closer. Up to about 120 now.

Brilliant from Dan. So good to see.

Yes. I saw that and totally agree. It is time to let that go and give Dan their full support.

I hope that wasn't Russell Fuller - I'd expect him to write a better headline than that

Jan · Hall of fame

It seems to be anonymous, so far at least.

As I understand journalism, the writer of the article doesnt get to to write (or even agree with) the headline.

But the article itself referred to the drugs ban with somewhat the same tone. It's all so unfair, since it wasn't a performance related drug and the same term would be used if it had been. Also, does the drug testing cover Alcohol use, both in and out of competition ?

JonH · All-time great

Fuller didn't write it. It's a staff journo.

Dan can beat Isner, he'll make him play too many balls. May be 3 sets but Dan will win.

hoots · Intermediate Club Player

And nowhere to make any comments on it.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Thats very correct about the journalism. A diffeeent person to the journalist will have written the headline.

freerider · Futures level

Yes i feel isner is a good opponent for dan.

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Dan plays at 3.00pm local which is 8pm tonight for us. Good luck mate!
