Sadly, Dan lost the match:crying::crying::crying:

Nessie
19-06-2018, 19:34
Oh real real shame! From 5-2 up in that last set he loses the next 5 games. A turn round from Mannarino after losing 7 straight games.

did anyone see that? how on earth did Dan lose, i saw the score at 5-1, AD serving, 0-30 down - what went wrong?

exislander

Serving at 5-3 Dan played a poor game and that was it really. I did think he was going to win that one.

Linda
19-06-2018, 19:51
Aw! Felt sure that Dan the comeback king would win that :(

I seriously thought he was going to win it, especially after getting to the Nottingham final. I thought he would continue his charge up the rankings and get into the top 300.

Pity Dan should have won that. Further bad news Dan will need to do pre qualification for Wimbledon, no wc. Hopefully he can do what Marcus did a couple of years ago.

It was never 5-1 (5-2 single break)

Was unreserved and no issue with space, went straight there after Andy and was only about half full, didnt get to see Kyle apart from on the screen outside north stand from court 1

roytennisfan

Dan starts the first of his 6 (hopefully) qualifiers today as top seed in pre qualies (Ed Corrie is top seed for second spot)
Dan plays Evan Hoyt today

Good luck to Dan. I read, earlier this week, he believed they wouldn't give him a wildcard for Wimbledon.

I'm following it on the Wimbledon app. I think (?) it's only Court 11 which is televised and neither James nor Dan are playing on that court.

Perhaps a match too far he has played a lot lately :(

The beeb are so stingy with their one camera, which is firmly planted in Court 11 - regardless of who is playing.:grrr:

Dan now lost 3 successive games, come on! I'm watching Norrie at moment anyway but pity this one not televised (of course we never used to see qualifying at all though)

Teresa
26-06-2018, 17:01
It looks like Dan has run out of steam. Bachinger is serving for the match.

Dan loses:-(

Jane
26-06-2018, 17:03
So sad Dan lost, but not so surprising when you consider the amount of tennis he has played recently

Reef
26-06-2018, 17:04
A pity. Full-on with pre-qualies as well.

JAMES4578
26-06-2018, 17:08
Suppose Dan a bit jaded, maybe understandable but outplayed today. Whatever the arguments still think pity had to pre qualify but he must now move on in any case.

patlowe
26-06-2018, 17:15
Well he has got to where he is by earning it and doing it 'the hard way' which is of course proper order. And I happen to think he has done very very well thus far and there will be lots of tennis to come for him to keep climbing and improving.

Reef
27-06-2018, 11:10
I'm sorry too as I love watching Dan play...but undoubtedly he must have been exhausted considering the amount of tennis he's played since his return. I still expect the steady rise up the rankings to continue though. Anyone know whether he currently has a coach, since Mark Hylton is now in Kyle's team?

Nessie
25-07-2018, 10:04
I think he’s playing today in Binghamton- a challenger. He’s due to play Alexander Ward in round 1!

Yes, a number of Brits were due to play there yesterday but looked like it rained all day so a packed schedule with early start today.

Watched second set of Dan's match. He did well despite the din from the adjoining court where Pospisil was playing. His supporters were SO noisy....understandable as Pospisil the home guy....so I expect Dan will have to contend with that in his match today. It might fire him up even more!

Jane

roytennisfan
19-08-2018, 10:50
Does anyone know if Dan stands a chance of getting into qualifying for the US Open at all?

A great win for Dan, up to #257, a win in the final would take Dan up another 30 places he could still need a WC , 104 places in main draw and120 in qualifier plus WCs. So as long as enough players above Dan get WCs he should be in if he wins, if he doesn't, only with a WC. It looks like would need at least 3 of 8 MD wildcards to be ranked higher than him.

Just noticed this and thought I should clarify that although seedings for the US Open will be based on tomorrow's rankings, entries for qualifying were based on the rankings 3 weeks ago, so he can't get in whatever happens tonight. However, a win tonight would probably secure a spot in Aus Open qualifying already (since he has no points to come off between now and the end of the year), though I'm sure he's aiming higher than that, i.e. a seeding in Aus Open qualifying or even a place in the main draw.

Fantastic match against Pospisil last night, which was well worth staying up for, I can highly recommend watching the final tonight if you are able to catch the stream!

Steven
20-08-2018, 00:41
Wow, the SF and Final here were brilliant to watch. I thought he was a goner more than once today but he clearly wants it SO much! Never plays it safe on the big points either, really goes after them, it's brilliant to see :-)

Having won his 6th Challenger singles title (his first since he beat Cam to win Aptos 2 years and 5 days ago), Dan now goes outright 2nd on the most ATP Challenger singles titles won by Brits this century list bit.ly/challfin (I know the position in that table is slightly devalued by the fact that the very best Brits don't hang around in Challengers long enough to win that many, but it's still quite an achievement)

Evo is also the 2nd oldest Brit to win a Challenger singles title this century (James was also 28 when he won his last title in Bangalore in 2015 but he was a few months older)

Today's win takes him up to GB no. 4 ahead of Liam and James and easily back into the ATP top 250. He has virtually made sure of a qualifying place for the Aus Open (his stated aim for the rest of 2018 in his recent interview with Mike Cation) already, and probably a place in qualifying for RG and perhaps even Wimbledon too, though I imagine the aims have now gone up to being seeded in qualifying or even being a direct entrant for one or all of those.

All in all, a very productive and fun week, he must be cream crackered now!

Reef
20-08-2018, 07:22
Anyone know if Dan has a coach currently, or is he going alone? Playing 7 matches in 8 days, he surely must be working on his fitness....

Stell
20-08-2018, 07:31

roytennisfan
20-08-2018, 08:06
Vancouver was a really good one for Dan to win, some great matches and shows how far he has come since May and June. Definitely back to playing like, at least, a top100 player and he could well win another challenger or two in the Autumn to push his ranking towards the top 100.

Dan's match vs Brands will be starting shortly.

Dan was a break down, but now back on serve 4-3*

patlowe
30-08-2018, 10:36
Dan has lost the first set, but he is very upset with the umpire. Dan thinks the umpire's calling of the lines is abysmal. As Dan was having a rant ump told him to be quiet. Dan: "...no, you be quiet. Don't you tell me to be quiet" and on and on! Clearly Dan thought he was robbed of some points. Pity there is no Hawkeye in challengers.

patlowe

A timely break for Dan! Brands serving for the match and Dan breaks. Now 5 all in second set.

Jan

So close

patlowe
30-08-2018, 11:35
This a tight edgy TB. Dan seems to be in battle more with the ump than with Brands! Ah, Brands takes the match though Dan was well up in the TB at one point. Dan certainly had plenty of fire in his belly as he roared his way through the match. There was a cute wee ball kid who was barely the height of the net (who at one point Dan asked did she think the ball was in when he was arguing with the ump!)

Watched the last set of Dan's match. It's always unfortunate when 2 Brits have to play each other, but I really wanted Dan to win. However, Liam won the third set 6-4, so well done him. I thought Dan seemed a bit tame (for him.)

exislander
03-10-2018, 20:02
I saw some of the match from 0-3 in set 1. Dan's serve was awful then but did improve a bit as the match went on. However, he did not seem his usual self with just the occasional good shot.

jagmad
03-10-2018, 21:20

We checked out the telegraph earlier and they didn't have any news of Dan's match at all.
All the other Brit's but not Dan, are they snubbing him or...?

Get in Dan! Sure isn't he just a wee star. Of course I woke during the night, of course I had to have a wee peek at what was going on in Oz and of course once I did, I couldn't leave. I was really impressed with Dan. He's so spirited and so fun to watch. With his new aerodynamic hair cut and his all white kit (Yoroi), I thought he looked the best I've seen him. Really proud of him too. So good to see him back and playing like this.

Not sure if Fed played badly, as someone has mentioned, or if he was just having the problems others have when they're playing him.

Looking forward to Dan's next tourney.
