Great! Heres hoping we get both into the semi's again! Excellent choice of tournaments and a great run by both! Having known Hilts, theres no doubt he has been a great influence on both, he was ever the professional. Keep going lads

Only half watched but did I notice Dan hit a couple of high loopy topspin backhand returns in that match? I don't recall ever seeing him do that before.

I'm intrigued as to what people think both Dan and Liam's chances are against the Milkman or each other. Obviously Dan has the better chance of beating him (I make Dan is a big favourite against Sugita though I guess that is no certainty). I'd love to see Liam take Millman out and see them play each other but would expect a fairly comfortable win for Dan even if Liam had found form to get there.

If he wins and qualifying starts on Saturday, then he will get another SE

Makes you wonder why other players don't just do the same.

Looking at the latest entry lists I think Liam is in and Alex is 2nd alt.

Sugita is actually WR 111 isn't he?

Don't really fancy Liam's chances against the Milkman. I remember their match a couple of years ago and the Milkman was so solid, resulting in Liam making errors and berating himself. Hopefully Dan can keep his momentum going though and gain some revenge for that defeat in Wimby qualifying last year.

 Speaking of Liam berating himself, has anyone else noticed a significant improvement in his temperament? I've watched him a lot on live stream over the past couple of years and these last few weeks I've not once heard him shout about how bad, terrible, uncoordinated etc he is even after a few poor points in a row. Maybe connected to his upturn in form?
