Great pair of wins in contrasting manner for Andy and Dan this evening.
Well done to both - Andy, in particular, I just dont know how he pulled that off!

Awesome effort from Andy yesterday great to see Evo so efficient as well.

Going back to Mondays play, superb fight from Cam but it was probably one of the worst matches i've watched in some time! Has Cam always struggled so much with his serve and backhand?? I must admit i have followed much of him

His backhand is a tight, ugly thing, I commented during battle of the brits. Yuk.

Tennis Abstract rates Cam, Dan and Andy (over FAA) in next round, and then Dan as most likely to reach last 16.

Though if Andy, with the considered tougher R2 task, and Dan both get through to then meet in R3, it looks like their L16 %s will then be much closer so reckoned to be a tough call. Really hope we see it.

L64: Cameron Norrie WR 76 vs Federico Coria (ARG) WR 103 (= CH)
To complete the story so far of the top half of the draw:
L128: Kyle Edmund WR 44 defeated Alexander Bublik (KAZ) WR 54 by 2-6 7-5 7-5 6-0
*****
L64: (1) Novak Djokovic (SRB) WR 1 vs Kyle Edmund WR 44
NoDjo leads the head-to-head by 5-1, Kyle's only win coming in the last 32 of the Madrid Masters on clay in 2018 (6-3 2-6 6-3). The pair last met in the Paris Masters last year, when Djokovic won in straight sets (7-6(7) 6-1). There is no head-to-head for Cam & Coria.
L128: Andy Murray WR 115 defeated Yoshihito Nishioka (JPN) WR 49 by 4-6 4-6 7-6(5) 7-6(4) 6-4 in four hours & 40 minutes
L64: (15) Félix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) WR 21 (CH = 17 last October) vs Andy Murray WR 115
And Dan the Man makes it four out of four!
L128: (23) Daniel Evans WR 31 defeated Thiago Seyboth Wild (BRA) WR 113 by 6-2 6-1 7-6(5)

L64: Corentin Moutet (FRA) WR 77 (CH = 70 in January) vs (23) Daniel Evans WR 31

There is no head-to-head between Andy & FAA nor between Dan & Moutet.

So, Ken Skupski and Joe Salisbury are both on in this opening set of matches today. Is the mens doubles 2 sets and a MTB or 3 full sets?
