Dan Evans vs Enzo Couacaud is 3rd on Centre, following matches by Harriet Dart and Heather Watson. Play starts at 12 noon.

Good wins over decent opponents for Harriet Dart and Heather Watson this afternoon.

Also on BBC Red Button

[Jane]

Dan wins 7-5. 7-6 (7-3) :thumbup::cheer::cheer:

[cazza99]

Also on BBC Red Button

I think BBC may only be covering the Centre Court.

[Stell]

I watched the Dart, Watson and Evans matches on the Red Button. It's certainly been a good day for us Brits.

Raducanu 2nd match on Centre Court. (1st match starts at 11 am)

followed by some British men.

[Hawkeye]

Jodie Burrage has won as well.

[Stell]

A big happy birthday to me, as I get to watch Emma Raducanu and then the Paul Jubb vs Jay Clarke match.

[themass15]

Happy Birthday Stell!

[exislander]

Sadly Emma had to retire injured in first set.

[Hawkeye]

A win today for GB's Lily Miyazaki over Magdalena Frech.

[exislander]

A great win for Ryan Peniston over 2nd seed Vesely in 3 tiebreak sets.

[Hawkeye]

And now Boults beats Tatjana Maria.

[cazza99]

oop for Wednesday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current-challenger/nottingham/7740/daily-schedule?day=4

[Stell]

Thanks themass15. I really did hope that Ryan Peniston would win his match, yesterday. I jumped up and down in delight, when he did. It was great that Yuriko Miyazaki won as well.

[Hawkeye]

Ryan Peniston wins again, 6-4 7-6(4) aginst Borna Gojo.

[Hawkeye]

Dan wins 7-5 5-0. I assume something happened to Fabbiano?

[exislander]

I saw only the end of the match - second set was 6-0, Dan was just better after a close first set.

[banskogirl]

Yeah Fabbiano seemed to have no plan B either.

[Stell]

I missed the beginning of Dan's match as I received a letter saying I'd got to make an appointment for a blood test on Saturday!! They don't open Saturdays. So, it was moved to Friday afternoon (tomorrow afternoon).

I've been enjoying the female commentary as she knows what she's talking about unlike John Lloyd and Andrew Castle who always seemed to start talking about something else.

[Stell]

It was good to hear, on radio five live earlier, that Emma Raducanu's injury isn't serious and she'll be playing at Wimbledon.

The receptionist phoned me, earlier, saying they don't collect blood tests on Friday afternoon. So, it got changed to tomorrow morning and I'll be able to watch the tennis.

[Caro]

I saw only the end of the match - second set was 6-0, Dan was just better after a close first set. Yep, that was about the sum of it, and Fabiano dropped off.
I was at Nottingham yesterday watching my Brummie boy courtside. The weather forecast wasn’t great but we got a full day’s play. It’s a lovely wee tournament, really laid back and easy to see th e players up close.

[cazza99]

oop for Friday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/nottingham/7740/daily-schedule

Centre is all WTA matches and Court 1 is the ATP quarter finals.

Think the BBC red button is only covering the Centre Court.

[Hawkeye]

Surprised no-one has mentioned Harriet Dart's great victory over Camilla Giorgi. Her reward is a QF against Alison Riske.

I’ve only just finished watching my recording! Harriet was brilliant, wasn’t she, so calm and fearless at match points down!

Funnily enough, I was watching Dan yesterday and I suddenly realized I've never been to Nottingham. We will be in UK for 5 months next year. So have suggested to hubby that maybe we should visit Sherwood Forest /Robin Hood. Now to coincide it with this time of year!!! :whistle:

[exislander]

Harriet takes first set against Alison Riske 6-4.

[JAMES4578]

Great for Dan,well done! He was the top seed but not always straightforward in challengers.

I wasn't surprised when Jordan Thompson got a code violation for his swearing during the match.
