Also Billy gets LL spot against Bellucci a qualifier. Winner to play Zverev
Well done, Billy !
Yay
Back with a theoretical.chance of making the top 100. But since that looks to involve winning at least 2 MD rounds with Zverev waiting in R2 that looks a toughie!
Going with it though, his updated 14/10 points allowing for 55 points off from 2 tournaments last year, plus 60 points from LL+R3, plus 12 points from his then best non counter would take him to:
552 - 55 + 60 + 12 = 569 points.
It would be 549 points if he won his R1 but lost in R2 which it already appears would leave him still short of the top 100.
He is though entered into the ATP 125 Hangzhou Challenger next week, which will also count to the 14/10 rankings.

Got to be in it to win it!

Dan is second match on court 4 not before 15.00 GMT. Will court 4 be streamed?

wolf · Tennis legend

All courts at 1000 and 500 level are streamed.

Spireman · Club Coach

On Google live scores it has Dan as currently estimated 10.40am BST but that time will no doubt slip. It's the 4th match on court 4 with first having finished, second one at 1 set all, then Vekic is in 3rd match. So 10.40 won't happen, unless something like a retirement in earlier match. But on that schedule will be well before 3pm whether gmt or BST (clocks change end of October so we are still on BST).

Edit: now showing as estimated 11.40, match before is on and Moutet 4-1 first set v Vukic.

As at 12.08 pm, Vukic is 4-2* up in the final set.

I didn't see the first set which Dan lost

But the second set has been quite fun

Especially as Dan won, 6-4

L96: Thiago Seyboth Wild WR 87 defeated (Q) Daniel Evans WR 176 by 6-2 4-6 7-6(3)

He led by a break half-way through that third set. cry

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Seyboth Wild played the better tie-break, so I guess it's fair
Although I don't like him so I wouldn't care if he lost 'unfairly'

seagull · Hall of fame

No he is quite unlikeable

Mr Evans obviously couldn't overcome the disappointment of being overlooked in the PoM for September.

Billys match says cancelled on the sofascore and live tennis apps, and off the TNNS app. Not clear what has happened to me- anyone know. Doesnt seem to be the only one cancelled though although weather looks fine and draw isnt suggesting anyone has withdrawn?

Billy's match is still showing on the ATP website, and play is in progress on 5 courts (well 3 at the moment, one more just finished and one about to start).

Its back on all the apps as well now - maybe there was a glitch but it and several others all showed as cancelled on the various apps I looked at above - all fine
