Excellent. Looks like a straightforward win for Kyle!

Nice one Kyle, I had no idea this was going on, I had been at a client pitch in Manchester and was travelling back over the M62, what fun and joy on a Friday !

Excellent!

Raonic next ! they played two years ago in Delray and Raonic won in 3. Fancy Kyle this time. With Evo playing Shapo, it is shaping up as a mini Davis Cup match for GB versus Canada - need to check the doubles draw to see if there are any other Can v GB matches in the offing.!

Of all the trumpery moonshine! Surely last 32 versus Raonic. Fortunately it isnt a big typo and its good you go out of your way to offer this service to the forum.

Would surely require a desperately ill or wicked tournament director to conceive of a tournament where the 12th and 19th seeds squared off in the last 48.

Schedule is out for Saturday. Dan is on at 11:00 local time so that should be 15:00 GMT.

JonH · All-time great

Decent court for Dan as well, Court 1. Exciting match up, should be interesting

Helen40 · Grand Slam Champion

Yes, I'm looking forward to the next matches for both of our guys, it will give an better indication of where they're up to.

Interestingly Dan is in front of Denis in the race, so game on!

David law refers on Twitter to some banter being played out overnight between Dan and Jamie Murray, but I can't find anything more about what is being said - anyone else know ?

the addict · Tennis legend

I assume that is partly in reference to Stuart Fraser's interview with Dan in todays Times.

Haven't seen anything from Jamie yet, but it might be another newspaper

JonH · All-time great

Makes sense thanks the addict !

Dan Evans on Jamie Murray: It will be interesting to see who ends up with more money at the end of their careers, wont it? @SimonBriggs

No.
