Crikey Evo is losing his cool in the Mallorcan heat. Having a running battle with the umpire and unfortunately it looks like it's distracting him rather than firing him up.

Lost the first set 4-6 from 4 all after an overruled first serve in the first point of game 9

He must be close to a code violation at least...

I just do not understand why players 'go one with themselves' so much. It never resolves anything and 9 times out of ten it backfires on them far more than whatever they are complaining about. Training in mindfulness or at least anger management would go along way to avoiding some of this.

Huge from Evo. MP down at *3-5 30-40, he holds and then breaks to 15.

*5-5

It's funny, Brands is so impassive you almost think he could benefit from a bit of the Evo devilment!

Just served for the match and broken as meekly as you like.

C'mon Evo!

Brands saves a set point with some strong first serving. Into a TB we go...

Now *6-6 at 2nd change of ends.  Evo thought he had won the point at 5-5 but was adjudged to have touched the net playing the volley.
