L16: (WC) Daniel Evans WR 63 (CH = 41 in March 2107) defeated Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA) WR 43 (CH = 36 in Feb) 6-3 7-5 I believe PHH was up a break at least twice in that second set (couldn't watch)
And Dan is up to LR 60 now... Moreover if Dan was to win his QF match as well, and Cam was to lose today to Kyle, then Dan would be just 10 pts behind Cam in the rankings. He's closing up...

QF: (3/WC) Kyle Edmund WR 31 vs (WC) Daniel Evans WR 63
Dan to win that one. Dan will be GB no.1 soon, Kyle has a few rounds at W to defend and later on his title. Dan doesn't have so much. Think Cam will remain no.2
Kyle - excellent, beat world 59 and with ease, 2 and 2. Dealt well with delay and a good win to boost his confidence.
Cam - poor, lost to an out of form player on a surface they dislike, and emphatically. Will be a big blow to is confidence and not good going into Wimbledon.
Maybe it was the break in the match, maybe it's the scoreline and dominance of Kyle but the atmosphere is quite flat.
Maybe it's me but I always think eastbourne is flat. Long way from stands to courtside, quite open, if windy the atmosphere blows away. My least favourite venue in the grass season
