Playing well. I didnt see the first set but apparently Sonego was on fire.

Great game!

Wonderful to see such a battle

Dan took SO long before each serve in that last game

And each player SO wanting to get to the net before the other one

Very happy for Dan

Brilliant!

The 2nd round looks like it could throw up some success, surely

Evans v Eubanks
Murray v Etcheverry
Draper v Jarry
Norrie v Cobolli

Id take 3 out of 4 for sure.

 Yes, decent looking match-ups there, with lower not underranked seeds for our 3 unseeded players. R3 could be a heck of a lot tougher but let's be getting some of our guys there and worry about that later.

 Tennis abstract rate all 4 men as favourites and Katie B as favourite as well. 5 wins would be lovely.

I was lucky enough to be front row on Grandstand to watch this. What an emotional roller coaster! Sonego did come out all guns blazing and Dan got very frustrated and down on himself very quickly but by the start of the second set hed started to get a read on the Sonego serve and all of a sudden Dan was right in it, super animated, crowd were loving it and it was a really entertaining match. Sonegos level dipped a little bit but Dan starting to read the serve contributed hugely. Im not sure if it came across on TV but it was quite gusty at times and Dan handled that better compared to Sonego especially on the slice. I was chatting to Laura Robson before Katies match and she was desperately hoping for an Evo win, as was I, being the first time Id seen Evo play singles live. Living every point with him was draining though! Was hoarse and aching from clapping by the end
