Fantastic from Dan he was less than convincing against Rodionov this was a real step up.

Other SF is Anderson vs Rublev.

Singles Forecast
Archived: R32 | R16 | QF | SF | Current
Probable matchups: F

Player F W
(LL)Lorenzo Sonego (ITA) 25.2% 2.9%
(SE)Daniel Evans (GBR) 74.8% 20.0%
(PR)Kevin Anderson (RSA) 23.8% 14.3%
(5)Andrey Rublev (RUS) 76.2% 62.8%

Tennis Abstract numbers - reckon it is nailed on for Rublev NOT to win this event then!!

For those not familiar, TA uses a formula based on quality and surface related stats to predict winners in matches and events. At the SF stage, he predicts Dan and Rublev are circa 75% chances to win their semis. He predicts Rublev is in turn favourite to win the event, 62.8% likely.

As an aside, anyone know how the Race would look currently if only 2020 results were included? Dan was doing well before lockdown, 12th or so I recall, would he still be top 20? Any ideas who the qualifiers for O2 would be based on 2020 only?

I don't know but I think i read mention of there being a site keeping count of a purely 2020 race.

I did wonder if Dan earlier temporarily lost some motivation when they changed the race to tie in with the rankings in including 2019 points. He seemed to come out of lockdown well then lost his way for a bit.
