I'm hoping for a Cam win but OTOH, I think Dan has more firepower in his game than Cam and would probably go further.

 Which I think depends on Rafa. this is the section: Ivashka or Safiullin next, youd' hope both could manage that one. Rafa after that unless Rafa gets beaten - Djere isn't likely to do that, Troicki or Mmoh, hard to see it - if Rafa is fit, it's Rafa in the 3rd round - can't see Cam damaging Rafa, maybe on a fast court, Evo could have a chance??

Player     R64  R32  R16  QF  SF  F  W
(30)Daniel Evans (GBR)     66.6%  43.7%  5.1%  2.3%  0.9%  0.2%  0.0%
Cameron Norrie (GBR)     33.4%  16.4%  1.1%  0.3%  0.1%  0.0%  0.0%
Ilya Ivashka (BLR)     68.0%  30.9%  2.5%  0.9%  0.3%  0.0%  0.0%
(Q)Roman Safiullin (RUS)     32.0%  9.1%  0.4%  0.1%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%
(Q)Michael Mmoh (USA)     59.1%  2.1%  0.7%  0.1%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%
(Q)Viktor Troicki (SRB)     40.9%  1.0%  0.2%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%
Laslo Djere (SRB)     1.3%  0.5%  0.1%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%
(2)Rafael Nadal (ESP)

 Dan appears to be playing out of his skin at the moment. I'd definitely give him a chance against Nadal, Maybe 30/70 in Nadals favour on these courts but any sign of weakness in Nadals game in his 1st 2 matches and I'd be edging in Dans favour.

Feliciano Lopez will be playing in his 75th consecutive main draw Grand Slam singles. This started at the French of 2002.

In doubles draw, skupskis play FAA and Hurkasz.

Bambo and Dom play vesely and Aljaz

Joe and Rajeev play Jonny and Sitak!

And Jamie and Bruno play Cam and giron!

Dan plays molteni and nys

Depending on your perspective , some tough old draws and some interesting matches

 Monfils in tears in his post match presser. Hasn't won any matches for nearly a year at this point (not helped, obviously, by the stop/start of the tour)

And Paire, seeded 25, lost too.

French gloom. 

(I'd have really liked Monfils to win, but glad that Paire's gone)

If I've counted right, there are 7 lucky loser spots in the men's (and 5 in the women) - that's huge!

Anyone know why? Are these covid related? Or that rule about keeping half your prize money if you give a walkover into the MD?

 I think most of them withdrew before making the trip over here, for whatever reason, so the LL spots were known in advance - they took 6 with them I believe anyway ahead of the trip to Oz from UAE, men and womens...

Away from the Brits, this happened earlier.

17-year-old @alcarazcarlos03 defeats Botic van de Zandschulp to become the youngest man to win a Grand Slam match since Thanasi Kokkinakis (who was one day younger than Alcaraz is now) defeated Igor Sijsling at the 2014 #AusOpen
