I've just watched the end of Dan's match - very impressive form, hopefully he can continue for the next few weeks. Going to watch the end of the doubles shortly.
As for the question Jamie+Neal > Jamie +Joe. Difficult to tell after just a handful of matches, and needs more time to develop a partnership. It appears a scratch partnership of two good singles players is as good as a scratch partnership of two good doubles players !!
Just doing the same (watching dubs) and of course gutted about that result but I just have to see it back after missing it live. So pleased for Evo. He produced a fab BH pass on the line, an incredible lob and superb volleys in that final TB. Just seemed to be in charge despite that partizan Aussie crowd and intense pressure from an extremely talented opponent.
Just hope I can say something nice about dubs in an hour. Sounds so close as well.
Thanks Bruce, out of interest, where do you get that from?
Contrary to atp own faqs , the pdf attached shows dan has 200 ranking points. Not 215 that atp site suggests as per the dan thread. This all seems rather inconsistent and confusing.
If you check Dan's player thread it explains it. Wiki points are wrong l, he got 50 points for beating Albot, check the ATP site
Hi emmsie, I know I've contributed. I know I'm making a song and dance, and it doesn't really matter, the issue is that atp on their pro tennis site as per above say 200 points, in their faqs it is 215. So they differ in two places. And the rankingsites have it one way and the other as well.
Main issue is atp contradict themselves.
I know I sound and come across like a prat and a bit of a thick idiot but there we are. !

That win against Minaur under so much pressure must go down as one of Dan's best wins, does anyone know who the highest ranked player he has beaten is?
According to wiki, his top 10 wins are: sorry for the formatting. They have Thiem as top but he was ranked 8th at the time apparently, Cilic 7 and Isner 9. Goffin was 11 this week in Sydney and De Minaur 18th I think? Suspect it is his first week with 2 top 20 players beaten?

Not certain if it is still his best win, but he beat Cilic WR7 in the AO in 2017
Coffin just beat Nadal. 1-1 in that match.
Coffin is a good name to use when he should be winning but isn't. Looks like Godfin came out to play Nadal (which is what I've seen used when Goffin is playing well)
