WASHINGTON 31st July to 6th August

[Guerkins2]

Andy due to play in Washington - 29th July to August 6th. Will be shown on Amazon Prime.

Andy has a bye in the first round of the singles and playing doubles with Dan too

[exislander]

His projected round 3 opponent is top seed Taylor Fritz and the doubles first round is against the second seeds so neither draw is great for Andy.

Andy speaks in interview ahead of the Washington event:
“Obviously had quite a lot of issues last year during American summer with like cramping and stuff like that. Wanted to make sure I got here early to give myself enough time to adjust to that. It's been good.”
“There will definitely be some aches and pains. That can sometimes be hard to, yeah, quite hard to deal with mentally, because you forget what it is like to play like the highest level of sport isn't easy.”

Dan/Andy take 1st set 6-3.

[exislander]

They win 6-3 6-4!!!!!

[Jane]

Jamie and Michael also get the win - 6-7, 6-3, 10-5 Well done!!:thumbup:

[clancy]

Superb wins for Andy and Dan and Jamie and Michael in the doubles! Andy and Dan a quick 2 setter match against the no 2 seeds and Jamie and Michael against Mahut, an excellent doubles player of many years, and Dimitrov. Hope this gives Andy a boost for his singles match. x

[HoopGirl]

Thought Andy and Dan were looking good - this win is particularly useful as it will boost both of their confidence right now

[Hawkeye]

Andy and Dan third up on Grandstand today.

[patmoren]

Great start to Washington, both Murrays through in the Doubles first round. Go GB!!!

[Hawkeye]

Andy and Dan lost their second round doubles in a match tie break.

[clancy]

Sad that Andy and Dan lost their 2nd round match; very tight (apart from the 2nd set) ending with a tight MTB; should have clinched the 1st set really. x

[exislander]

It was a close match but they can now focus on their singles - both playing tomorrow I think.

[cazza99]

Dan has beaten Barrere. :)

[patmoren]

Well done Andy through to the last 16 in Washington. Little steps to big steps and getting there!

[cazza99]

The winner of Andy and Frtiz plays again tonight against Jordan Thompson - last match on John Harris Court.

Dan won and plays again against Tiafoe or Shang (their match is after Andy's) - last match on Stadium Court.

[Hawkeye]

Dan beat Tiafoe in straights to make the semis.

[Caro]

Dan beat Tiafoe in straights to make the semis.

Great win for Evo! At last he seems to have found some form … out of nowhere really. He has been in the doldrums all summer.

oop for Saturday - https://www.atptour.com/en/scores/current/washington/418/daily-schedule

Dan is playing in the second night match.

[JAMES4578]

Yes great win for Dan, a pleasant surprise!

[exislander]

Another brilliant win for Dan to reach the final where he will play Griekspoor against whom he has a good record!

[Sallydaisy]

Yay!!!
Go for it SuperDan!!!
:superman:

So good to see him playing well again.
:thumbup:

[patmoren]

Well done Dan playing some amazing tennis at trhe moment. By the way if anyone using Microsoft 11 and Microsoft Edge or Chrome, Amazon have incompatabilities with screening the replays at the moment. It works ok on Firefox. Life screening isn't a problem.

[JAMES4578]

Fab for Dan, bonus it is not against Fritz (maybe it all caught up with him), Griekspoor though has had some good wins.

[exislander]

Dan took first set 7-5, then a couple of short delays for a little rain on the court but now off because of lightning in the area at 2-2 in second set. It could be a while......

[cazza99]

Well done Dan. :clap: :clap:

[exislander]

Dan was just brilliant winning 7-5 6-3 and now at a career high number 21 they said.

[Jan]

Brilliant!! :superman:

[roytennisfan]

So pleased for Dan, wins coming like buses and he was really good, especially against Tiafoe. First ATP500 win!
Before Washington Dan was in danger of losing his seeding for Flushing Meadow with 350 points dropping today, but with the 500 he's now coasting and at a NCH21 just for this week, that is unless this run continues

[Teresa]

Delighted for Dan. Hopefully his confidence shoots up again.

[JAMES4578]

Awesome from Dan ,well done! of course not always going to have deep runs but hopefully will have a higher level generally in the months ahead.

[Genbrit]

Well done Dan. So happy for him.
