Well done to Dan, and Cam earlier.

So a serving barrage going to be coming down from great height whoever Dan faces next but once the points get going Dan's got more skills ...

No real surprise Isner-Opelka has gone into a decider, and even less surprising that they shared tie break sets. In Opelka's 12 service games thus far, Isner has managed to win 7 points and has never been past 15. Opelka has won a few more points on the Isner serve and did have a successive unconverted break points.

23 aces vs 21.

QF:  Reilly Opelka (USA) WR 57 (CH = 53 in May) vs Daniel Evans WR 55

Here's hoping subtlety & variety can overcome brute force:  Opelka won in three tie-breaks...

Just to note that Dan is up to LR 48 after this win. He has a CH 41, so with two more wins (ie if he reaches the final), he will take this out.

May not happen this week, but if he stays fit seems only a matter of time now before he does take it out.

We've been quite fortunate with the scheduling so far this tournament. It looks like Dan-Opelka is a NB 7pm (assuming De Minaur-Tomic doesn't go pretty long, which starts at 5pm), Cam follows on directly after Dan's match, so that's pretty perfect for the general UK audience. If we were fans of say Kecmanovic (which some might be), then his 2nd round match started around 2am UK and his QF later is 1am.

The only problem is the lack of coverage. I'm much more of a WTA fan and can see about 90% of the ATP 250 equivalents on BT Sport. I am a bit concerned when the WTA rights go to Amazon next year as I'm not sure what the intentions are and I'm hoping it's not the same and around 50% of the rights are only available through WTA TV (Tennis TV equivalent), betting sites with no comms, or dodgy streams - I'll be watching the GB lads on a betting site this evening.

Predictable match for evo so far. Opelka serving huge but winning no rallies. 3 all

Opelka had only won half his service points when he hasn't hit an ace. Unfortunately he has had 14 aces ( 11-11 in his remaining service points ).

*5-6

Hmm, more points won on return than serve in that TB, unfortunately mainly by that great returner, Opelka 

6-7(3)
