L32: Daniel Evans WR 34 (CH = 32 last month) vs Qualifier
The top seed is Medvedev.
It could be a lucky loser, there are 5 spots for q/LL. So that's good for Dan, but it is a tough old draw and going deep will be difficult.
In the doubles:
L16: Jamie Murray & Neal Skupski CR 53 (25+28) vs Jürgen Melzer & Edouard Roger-Vasselin (AUT/FRA) CR 52 (35+17)
L32: Daniel Evans WR 34 vs (Q) Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) WR 80 (CH = 16 in July 2012)
"Kohli" is now 36! The fifth empty berth in the draw was taken by an SE, Vasek Pospisil, who has the unenviable task of playing the top seed, Daniil Medvedev.
A break and 4-2 ahead ...
And a decent 6-3 7-5 win for dan. Well done, nice start.
L32: Daniel Evans WR 33 beat (Q) Philipp Kohlschreiber (GER) WR 81 (CH = 16 in July 2012) by. 6-3 7-5
One break of serve in each set sufficed. Dan was 24 points to 1 on serve in the second set.
(5) Fognini or Khachanov in the L16. These two play tomorrow.
Dan up to live #31.
