Definite chance for Dan to pick up his first ATP title here after a very good day. Probably famous last words, but I think he will beat Chardy easily. Most likely opponent in the final will be FAA. That will be tougher but still very winnable.
Pleased for Jonny/Cam as well but just a pity it was against Joe.
ratings from tennis abstract - Da favourite to beat Chardy, just, and quite possibly when they get to meet each other, the odds v FAA will be in his favour slightly also
Player F W Jeremy Chardy (FRA) 46.5% 25.5% (8)Daniel Evans (GBR) 53.5% 31.2% (3)Felix Auger Aliassime (CAN) 66.3% 32.3% Corentin Moutet (FRA) 33.7% 11.0%
That said, Chardy is H2H up on Dan...Shanghai, Surbiton and a DC match all gone his way
