Just watched these highlights and agreed he played a fantastic match. Even so I think it's a bit of a stretch to imagine he could win the tournament when that would meaning beating both Isner and Delpo. Not sure he's quite there yet.

 Indeed. I hadn't realised that both of those were in the mix. I can see Dan beating Isner, even a certain Mr Ward managed that . Delpo is low 200s in the race, so don't know what's going on there. Actually race wise, Dan is higher than both of them, so here's still hoping.

 I just love your optimism!

 He's only in the LIVE race at all because of the 20 points he's picked up so far this week. He hasn't played anywhere at all since he retired from Shanghai in October.

Edit - As Ace said !

Yes, the highlights are superb, but I can't help wondering that those legs may not have had enough time to recover before his next match less than 24 hours away. he'll certainly need to try to keep the points short, but that isn't really his style.

 I'd have thought he'd be OK and points with Harris aren't likely to be all that long anyway are they?

Expect Dan to hold fairly easily most of the time and struggle to break, so if he is tired, it might not be a bad opponent to have.

 I haven't watched Harris so I don't know his style, but Dan has already played 3 quite long matches, having gone through qualifying, and there was a terrific amount of running in that last match.  But  from what you say, it sounds like  this one might involve less mileage, so good.

 He's 6 ft 5 with a booming serve.

 Ah, I did notice another one of those in Dan's half of the draw
