A bit inauspicious surely, or are you quietly confident? I actually have £2 on Dan to win anyway LOL

Mackenzie Mac will be one of the 3 in contention and it'll depend on how Ruud (a set down) and Lloyd Harris (5-5) do in their FQR to see if Dan will have a chance, but hopefully it won't come to that.

It's such a shame there's no stream........ or has anybody found one?

Doesn't look like there is one. A couple of betting sites are showing other qualifiers like Lloyd Harris, but not Dan.

Dan *4-4 second set.

LL update:

Ruud takes his into a decider. Lloyd Harris dropped his first set and on serve in the 2nd.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Bublik breaks so will try and serve it out at 4-5*, so that LL situation becomes more of a talking point.

Dan lost 4-6 4-6.

Miami update:
OUT: Berdych
IN: 2nd LL spot

The 3 highest-ranked Q final losers will be in the LL draw.

This from Twitter, so Jay out, but may well be a reprieve for Dan if needed.

He is going to need it:

FQR: Alexander Bublik (KAZ) WR 131 defeated (q13) Daniel Evans WR 97 by 4 & 4 cry

Bublik serves 12 double faults, but Dan loses.

Jan · Hall of fame

Oh cry cry

Ruud looks well in his was *3-0 deciding set and has won at least 9 of the last 11 games (win set two 6-2), so if he can finish the job off, Dan will have a 67% chance of making the main draw.

Ruud through

LL draw should be McDonald, Evans + one other, with 2 of those going through.

Lloyd Harris is the '+ one other'. All Q matches are complete, so we should fine out relatively soon.

Definitely inauspicious - it was me being grammatically off key I am afraid.
