Ok, I have to ask. What is "special exempt"? :whistle: Seriously, I haven't seen this before. :shrug:

That's usually for players who would normally have to had gone through qualifying, but because they went deep in a tournament the week before they couldn't make the qualifying tournament.

FTM is up now for Andy. Hopefully he do better.

Andy needs to approach this next match fully switched on ( and others), not thinking he should win because he used to beat these guys easilyin his hey day.

Andy second night session on ken Rosewall Arena, with first match (WTA) starting not before 8.00 am.

Dan won 6'2,6'3.
However, his potential opponents match was cancelled due to rain and will be played first up on Thursday.

Hence Dan's QF will be n/b 8pm (10pm UK) against either Cressy or Lajovic.
Also, explains why Andy is scheduled ahead of that on the showcourt.

Brits in action tomorrow in Sydney:
Andy Murray vs Reilly Opelka 2nd after 2:30 UK - after a WTA match so maybe 4/4.30am UK?
Dan Evans vs Aslan Karatsev 2nd after 8:00- after a WTA match so maybe 9.30/10.00am UK?

@TennisONEApp (https://twitter.com/TennisONEApp) and http://tennis.one (https://t.co/mjGpYc1YlQ) for free streaming
NB - they showed Andy today and it's still there for folks to rewatch but
for some reason the planned coverage of Dan's match didn't happen.
Hopefully tomorrow we'll have both ...

If you click the right hand link I gave it takes you to their website.
I just did that and it has a big blue box saying TennisOne and immediately underneath that are the videos. You might have to upload their app - it won't let me play them on my ageing laptop.
It's a new site to me too, I used up/down/sideways arrows to scroll through the vids.

The first match is at 1.00 am so if that goes on for more than 1 1/2 hr with any luck it will push the schedule back a bit.
