Can't see Dan on either Eurosport or TennisTV so am watching on bet365.
After dropping serve to go 1-2 Dan took next 4 games - not without a fight - and the first set 6-3.
2nd set Dan serving at 5-4, Sousa came up with some great shots to break but then lost his own serve again, so Dan made it 7-5.
I watched it too, but the Bet365 site has changed and I couldn't get a very big picture. Perhaps you could tell me how if you did?

On laptop I have not been able to get full screen for some time, the best I have found is the screen zoomed to 200% which is not great but watchable. I only use bet365 when no other source seems to be available.

Dan took set 1 by 6-4, was a break up in set 2, dropped his next serve and was 4-5 30-30 when rain stopped play. Now very heavy rain and sounds like thunder so time for sleep. The winner will play Coric who beat Kyrgios.
Ok, Dan won 2nd set tiebreak so on court again later v Coric.

Doubles 3rd seeds Joe/Rajeev go out to Cam/Jonny 7-10.
Another win for Dan takes him into the SF where he'll play Chardy :bravo:

Missed the first few games but Dan was brilliant to win 6-2 6-3! His first tour title
Was an excellent match from Dan. Had double breaks in both sets but lost one in the second set when he was serving for the match at 5-2. He then broke again to win the match. He thoroughly deserved the win. Love watching him play. Well done Dan.
Excellent news. A long overdue title for Dan. He has worked so hard for it. It would have been a travesty if he had reached the end of his career without at least one main tour title.
Here’s hoping for more soon.
Well done Dan, and Jamie and Bruno. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Have just surfaced after watching Dan's match on tv, followed by watching Jamie's on LS.:sleepy:
After I woke up, earlier, I found out that Dan and Jamie and Bruno had won their finals. Brilliant news!! I'm so pleased for Dan.

I don’t know about tomorrow being a good day - today is an excellent one though. Well done Dan. so pleased you now have a trophy on your CV. Was the boomerang the only actual trophy? Would have been nice to have a piece of silverware or glass.
Also a great win for Jamie & Bruno. So good to have this level of tennis back..

Woohoo Evo!! I recorded and hid and was so happy for him! Well deserved :clap:
He just seemed to throw everything at Felix so early on that his confidence left him and Dan didn't let up. Ok a wee delay in the game before last but he's human and it keeps fans on their toes :boogie:
Congratulations to Caro too :jitterbug: worth waiting for!

Great for Jamie/Bruno- fab (even if did not see that one) :clap::clap::clap: Good for Dan too :cheer::cheer: , though did not think Auger Aliassime really showed up.
A bit late here, but yes, agree with all the comments about Dan. Well deserved. His serving was awesome throughout the whole week. He has proved over and over again the old adage that it's not the falling down that matters, but how you get up again. And he looked so cool and trim in his black and white Luke Roper kit. Pleased for him and proud of him.
