H2H = 0-0
Dan Evans v Bernard Tomic 2nd after 05:00
H2H Evo 2-1. (https://www.atptour.com/en/players/fedex-head-2-head/daniel-evans-vs-bernard-tomic/E687/TA46)

[Sallydaisy]

It's raining in Shanghai so play is suspended with Cameron Norrie leading Brayden Schnur 6-3 1-1.
Dan Evans v Bernard Tomic delayed start.

[Sallydaisy]

Dan takes the first set 6'3 but is 0-2 in the 2nd.

[Jane]

Cam wins - 6-3, 6-3 - well done:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Can Norrie wins 6'3, 6'3 to go through to qr2 in Shanghai.

Evo now 0-3 and serving in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

Shanghai main draw
Andy will play a qualifier in Shanghai, R2 would play Fognini or Querrey.
Kyle also gets a qualifier, if he wins it's Alexander Zverev in R2

[Jane]

Well let us hope that Cam and Dan manage to avoid them - if they get through. Just imagine that - four Brits in a main draw :GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

Tonic takes the 2nd set 6-3.
Dan has to win the 3rd, pretty please.
:GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

Yay! Dan breaks for 2-0 in the 3rd set.

[Sallydaisy]

Dan now 4-0. But deuce on his service game.
:shades:

Held for 5-0.

[Sallydaisy]

GSM Dan!!!
6-2, 3-6, 6-0
:superman:

[Jane]

Dan takes the third set 6 - 0.....well done!! :cheer::cheer::GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

SHANGHAI QR 2
[3] Daniel EVANS v Jeremy CHARDY [8]

[Sallydaisy]

SHANGHAI QR2:
[7] Cameron NORRIE v ​Thomas FABBIANO [12]

[patlowe]

If Cam and Dan make it thru to the MD, I really hope that one of them is not placed against Andy (or Kyle). That would mean a Brit having to go out in R1! No thank you! All are playing so well they deserve a round or two (or three).

oop for Sunday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/shanghai/5014/daily-schedule

[Sallydaisy]

QR2 update
Cam took the first set 6-4.
Going with serve in the 2nd. Fabbiano just held for 3-2.

1-1 for Dan v Chardy.
Dan 6-2, 4-6 and about to serve at 1-1 in the 3rd.

[Sallydaisy]

Fabbiano fighting back.
Broke Cams' serve for 4-2 and had game point but Cam clung on and broke back and is now serving at 3-4.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam back on track, holds and breaks for 5-4.
Serving for the match.

On serve for Dan v Jeremy.
Dan serving first so currently 4-3.
Needs to break Chardys' serve pronto.

[Sallydaisy]

Cam wins!!! Through to the main draw. 6-4, 6-4.
:GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

Chardy just broke Dan (who had a code violation for???) and will serve for the match at 5-4 .

[Sallydaisy]

Chardy beat Dan with 6-4 in the 3rd set.
Such a shame as it was very close, wonder what happened with Evo in the penultimate game?

[patlowe]

Aw Dan. I really thought he would make it to the MD. I'm disappointed for him.
Well done to Cam! Glad he made it!

[cazza99]

The qualifers are now placed in the draw - http://www.protennislive.com/posting/2019/5014/mds.pdf

Andy is playing Londero,

Kyle is playing Chardy (who took Dan out)

Cameron Norrie is playing Gilles Simon


Millman, runner up in the Beijing Open, has a special entry into Shanghai.

[Jane]

Another early start tomorrow for those of us who are nutters - Cameron due on court at 5.30am against Gilles Simon. Best of luck, Cam :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[lynne]

OOP For Monday...… http://en.shanghairolexmasters.com/?page_id=438


Andy third on Centre Court not before 6.30pm(local)..11.30am (UK)… I think!!!:)

[cazza99]

OOP For Monday...… http://en.shanghairolexmasters.com/?page_id=438


Andy third on Centre Court not before 6.30pm(local)..11.30am (UK)… I think!!!:)

And Cameron 1st on court 2 at 5.30 am

And Kyle 3rd on court 2.

[lynne]

Well Done Cameron....gets the win 7-5, 6-2.......:thumbup:

[patlowe]

Good win for Cam. :clap::clap: I continue to be impressed with his play, good length and placement.

[Jan]

Fabulous!! :GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

Well done that man Cam!!!
:cheer:

He plays Medvedev (Meddybear) in R2.
:sofa:

[Sallydaisy]

Kyle v Chardy has just started.

[Jane]

Well done, Cam - great result :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

1st set to Chardy 6-4.

[Jane]

Chardy wins - 6-4, 7-6. Bad luck, Kyle :crying:

[Jan]

:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

With that loss to Chardy, Kyle will drop out of the top 50 and Dan Evans will become the GB men’s no. 1.

[lynne]

:sad:

[Jane]

Andy now preparing to go on court - wonder if he knows we can see what is going on

[JAMES4578]

Certainly a pity but Kyle still appears to be struggling , whilst Chardy can be a challenge (was tough for Dan too even though he now takes advantage) Still Evans has found the better form lately. Good to see that Cameron had a fairly convincing win over Simon!:cheer::cheer:

[cazza99]

oop for Tuesday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/shanghai/5014/daily-schedule

Andy 4th on court 3 - not before 10.30 am.

Cameron 4th on Centre (3rd match not before 11.30 am).

[lynne]

:rain: delay!!

[Jane]

Just had a look - they are out with the towels drying the lines, so hopefully play will resume soon.

[Jane]

Umbrellas are still up!!! :rain: :rain:

[Jane]

Play has resumed

[Sallydaisy]

MeddyBear beats Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-1.

[patlowe]

Karen Khachanov beat Fritz earlier, and now plays Foggy. Karen, I hereby charge you with the task of smoking Foggy well and truly out of this tournament. It's what he deserves.

[Hawkeye]

No "I hope Andy lost to the winner" this time? :pirate:

[patlowe]

No "I hope Andy lost to the winner" this time? :pirate:

I certainly hope not!!! (This time!)

[patlowe]

Oh Karen! You've let me down! Foggy beat him in 2 sets. :smashed:
Daniil, over to you!

[patlowe]

Atta boy Daniil! He's taken Foggy out!! 2 sets.

[Jane]

Tsitsipas ousts Djokovic in three sets - great stuff!!:clap: :clap: :clap:

[Hawkeye]

And now Sascha takes the first set off of Federer...

[patlowe]

Get in Sascha! Get in Stefanos! Both Roger and Novak taken out on the same day! When has that ever happened before! Really opens things up and makes it so much more interesting. The shine had gone out of Shanghai after Andy left, but it has certainly cheered up a bit now. Not predictable any more!

[Genbrit]

Oh, what a night. Late September.... Oops, sorry, wrong month.... but this got me singing, great oldie!!!
Anyway, woke up to Fed losing, so managed to see the last game. Agree Pat, livens things up a bit.

[JAMES4578]

Good day for the young guns with Stefanos coming from behind to knock out Djokovic and sacha holding firm in the 3rd to see off Federer (though missed chances in 2nd)- well done! looks like Medvedev was also convincing over Fognini-good stuff!

[cazza99]

oop for Saturday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/shanghai/5014/daily-schedule

[Hawkeye]

For the first time since 1999 all four semi-finalists of a Masters 1000 are 23 or under!

Anyone care to take a stab at who the last 4 were?

[goldfish]

Excellent to have the young ones coming through. Well past time for a change and I think Fed and Nole might even enjoy the challenge next time they meet any of these players. Thinking there is still room for Andy next year too.

[cazza99]

For the first time since 1999 all four semi-finalists of a Masters 1000 are 23 or under!

Anyone care to take a stab at who the last 4 were?

For somebody who was 23 in 1999 would be around 43 now.

[RosieBear]

Some interesting results today. For the first time I felt Sascha lived up to the hype, he played some really impressive stuff which was entertaining to watch. I'd like Stefanos to win the whole thing but Daniil can be a major beast, tough to even reach the final - good luck to him though :thumbup:

[Alis]

Interesting that Jamie plays Bruno.

[Alis]

Get in Sascha! Get in Stefanos! Both Roger and Novak taken out on the same day! When has that ever happened before! Really opens things up and makes it so much more interesting. The shine had gone out of Shanghai after Andy left, but it has certainly cheered up a bit now. Not predictable any more!

Wow! Maybe be there is a changing the guard!

[cazza99]

oop for Sunday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/shanghai/5014/daily-schedule?day=9

final is not before 9.30 am.

[cazza99]

For the first time since 1999 all four semi-finalists of a Masters 1000 are 23 or under!

Anyone care to take a stab at who the last 4 were?

Go on then - are you going to tell us?

[Hawkeye]

I didn't actually know the answer when I asked the question...

And when no-one guessed, I went and researched it for myself.

Anyway, I think it's this. https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/archive/hamburg/414/1999/results

[JAMES4578]

3rd seed Daniil Medvedev faces 5th seed Sacha Zverev for title, hopefully a good one! Both through in straight sets, though 2 fairly close sets for Medvedev in 7-6,7-5 win over Tsitispas (though time wise was not that long) Zverev had pretty routine 6-3,6-4 success over Berrettini.

[cazza99]

Medvedev take it 6-4 6-1.

[JAMES4578]

Hoped for more of a contest, however Medvedev was certainly very impressive!

[Rosalind]

Medvedev was excellent but Sasha let himself down at end of first and start of second set. He needs to get that metal stuff sorted.
