Dan seemed to already have his bag packed and raced off the court, before Harris I think. Presume no on court interviews here. Masterful (mostly) demolition of yet another American. Having done for the French (mostly) in Quimper, he seems to be doing similar here.

American? I thought he was South African? Or is he half American as well?

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

And the interesting upshot is that if Dan beats Seppi (and as David Law says on twitter, anyone aspiring to get anywhere in the rankings has to beat Seppi at some stage), then in fact he will go to #1 on the Race for Brits, albeit at an early stage of the season. Nonetheless, it shows to me that maybe the prediction of Dan making year end #1 Brit isnt actually that mad, more importantly it shows what a good start he has had to the year. Well done to him.
