Evans 2-1 up v Stan. Stan looks rattled.

 

[Niall]

And a break up in the third, always rated Evans but thought he was a bit of a waster, but the kid has really stepped it up this year, hell of a result if he holds on here.

 

[Jono]

Choked hard from a break up in the fourth. Settled back into it but needed that breaker to go his way. It didn't and he looks cooked now.

 

[Jono]

This is probably good for the tournament. Probably get nk vs Stan now

Aye, good match that,not seen much of Nick, but tempted to back him if price is juicy, Stan was very erratic tonight.

Murray made very hard work of Lorenzi, concerning performance as that is a player he should be crushing.

Nope, nk retires hurt. Wahh

 

[Niall]

Nope, nk retires hurt. Wahh

Crikey, wouldn't want to be near Daniel Evans when he heard that news, that was a match he would be fav for me.

That 4th set tie break will haunt even more so now.

 

[Jono]

John mcenroe laid into nk on commentary, jeez. The bloke was crying ffs, he didn't Just cbf jt

 

[Jono]

Oh ****. Rafa doing his "I am coasting and don't put the player away and lose" thing now. Pouille coming from the clouds in this 5th.

 

[Jono]

Poo man tried to choke that tiebreak and Rafa said "nah I'll out choke you with the most open forehand you'll ever see"

French dominating this tournament.

 

[Burgey]

No luck for the Juiced-up Lleyton today?

 

[Jono]

Ferrer wasn't playing today.

 

[Burgey]

You know who I meant.

Been a crap year for Jono-supported sportspeople tbh. Richmond, Nadal, James Magnussen, the Campbell sisters, Cameron McEvoy, Bronte Barrett, Jessica Ennis, Arsenal, Golden State Warriors, Ryan Lochte, Bernard Tomic, that couple who choked in the backstroke for us, the Indian Olympic team, Hope Solo, Han Solo, Justin Gatlin, Wests Tigers, the Russian Olympic Team. All strongly supported by the human mock himself.

rafa is done as a grand slam contender...

 

[Jono]

Even if I did support all those random sportsmen you mentioned, some whom I don't even know, that pales in comparison to your meltdown when Lanka swept Australia. So I'm still ahead.

That wasn't a meltdown, just a statement of the obvious.

Definitely. He's worse in best of 5 than 3s! Fognini, Verdasco and Pouille all in 5 sets. In all those matches he was in control too

 

[Jono]

Thiem from a break up in the first has gone to water vs Delpo

 

[Niall]

Does anybody remember Glenn Maxwell or Morne Morkel as test openers?

Dimitrov was even more wretched than both of those efforts tonight. Rotten performance.
