Great touch from Evans.......

 

[The Green Mile]

Tomic is not going to be buddy buddy with Evans anytime soon after this match, thats for damn sure. That little smirk and look at him just then was full of sarcastic hate

What happened what happened what happened? Drama?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

GREAT WINGS BY TOMIC. Adv. Come on get it now!

 

[Krish872007]

Are the two Zverev brothers in different halves? Could they meet in the final?

Yep - Mischa is top half and just won today.
Alex takes on the Bull in the bottom half tomorrow

 

[JRAJ1988]

Evans mastering Murray in the lob department.

 

[ArcspacE]

Tomic looks finished

No fitness, hey mate?

 

[Aussie Darcy]

What happened what happened what happened?

Evans stopped mid point whinging about rain and forced rain to stop. Umpire didn't stop it, he did. He then came back and got a 1st serve. He was cramping and it was deuce 5-5 when he stopped play.

 

[joekapa]

Evans comes across as a massive chav

Who is this guy?

He is the King of Chavs !!!

Jokes aside, that's what I like about him. Tennis is a game of characters as well.

But come on Bernie !!!!

 

[H_Richardson]

Evans comes across as a massive chav

Who is this guy?

A journeyman who couldn't focus on his tennis so he was ranked outside the top 100 until Murray probably set alight a rocket underneath his backside.

 

[Aussie Darcy]

2-1 Tomic. Get one of these breaks come on!

 

[LETitBE]

Why is 1st serve unfair after 7 minutes break stupid? Just came in...

what did they do to the score after the 7 minute break? did that change?

 

[gn]

Yep - Mischa is top half and just won today.
Alex takes on the Peak Injured Rusty Whining Bull in the bottom half tomorrow

Fixed.

 

[ArcspacE]

Evans' backhand is Gasquet-esque

 

[junior74]

what did they do to the score after the 7 minute break? did that change?

I didn´t see it, but I guess if you replay a point, you replay a point... ?

 

[JRAJ1988]

I know Tomic gets hate for his attitude but he's got a unique game I like.

 

[ArcspacE]

what did they do to the score after the 7 minute break? did that change?

Gave Evans a first serve at deuce - replay point

 

[Tennis wizard]

Move to the net tomic you idiot

 

[JonnyMac]

GOAT FH from Evo

 

[Red Rick]

Evans pubcrawling at maximum speed there

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Beautiful thing indeed.

 

[Krish872007]

MB Evans!!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Evans minibreak. It's done.

 

[JRAJ1988]

What a shot.

 

[Tennis wizard]

Evans had no right winning that rally smh

 

[Paul Harman]

Time for Tommy to Tank the Tiebreak

 

[Terenigma]

What happened what happened what happened? Drama?

Been a few things, i mean the fact Evans is beating him for one. Then he stopped play after missing a first serve to complain about the rain which caused a delay when Tomic was starting to build a comeback and look like breaking. When play resumed he got a first serve (even tho he should of been on a 2nd serve) and proceeded to hold. Then Tomic thought Evans hit a shot that was a double bounce and had to replay the point and after that happened, he just glared at Evans

 

[joekapa]

Which idiot said that you don't get your money's worth with Tomic ?

 

[Krish872007]

Nishikori whacking Lacko on the other court.

 

[gn]

In other news, Kei gets the double break.

 

[Red Rick]

Winner plays Tsonga?

 

[Sentinel]

Nishikori looking great will will AO.

 

[gn]

Nishikori whacking Lacko on the other court.

Almost at the same time

 

[Kalin]

That will happen the day Andy Roddick wins Wimbledon

With the state of the field I won't be surprised if he does. I mean, Istomin, Evans and Mischa Zverev are the big names these days

 

[Terenigma]

Do you guys think the crowd will boo Evans? Should he go on to win this match? (Currently 1 point away)

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Clutch by Evans. 3 match points.

Tomic was robbed though. Anyway great match.

Evans wins

 

[Tennis wizard]

Omg tomic how many chances do you need to pass

 

[Meles]

Tomic is not going to be buddy buddy with Evans anytime soon after this match, thats for damn sure. That little smirk and look at him just then was full of sarcastic hate

Just can't wait to see John Tomic's face after this one.

 

[ArcspacE]

Sorry @Aussie Darcy

Come join the Grigolo love train

 

[Red Rick]

Evans' superior net game and transition game won him this match

 

[Terenigma]

GSM Evans. 2 massive wins for him, Cilic and now Tomic.

 

[Krish872007]

Yess!! Huge win for Evans again!

Onwards and upwards into R4! Tsonga will be tough though.

 

[JonnyMac]

The British Chav @ScentOfDefeat takes it !

 

[Tennis wizard]

So why didnt tomic play the first 2 sets like he did the 3rd ?

 

[helennnnnn]

Evoooooooooooooooooo

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Tomic way nicer then I would be at the net.

 

[JRAJ1988]

When did Evans become so good?

 

[gn]

Kei already warming up to stuff Bendych on Sunday.

 

[Kalin]

Nishikori looking great will will AO.

If they switch to best of 3 for Week 2

 

[The Green Mile]

So Dan Evans is through huh? I haven't seen too much of him, what I have seen I wasn't quite impressed with. Anyone with a run down of how he played?
