At last a Brit gets the better of the pesky Finnish serial Brit-basher!

So that's 3 GB men (possibly 4, if Jay pulls off an upset) into the quarters. Great stuff.

And means for now, an all GB semi-final line up is still on!! biggrin

I like Dan says it as he sees it ( not that I always agree with him! ) Rather than pat answers or just going along with some theory.
I do think grass on front of a home crowd inspires each individual a whole lot more than what anyone else is doing which should be minimal effect at best ( though home wins may put the crowd in a good mood ).
It would actually be a bit of an issue if they need particular other players doing well as a motivation.

I like Dan's interviews also, he really seems very grounded (in his own way) and doesn't perform for the interviewer/audience it seems to me. His tweets used to reveal some of his 'stronger' opinions but, perhaps fortunately, he doesn't seem to make those these days.

I watched bits of Jay's match. There were plenty of breaks of serve, but the overall quality wasn't that great. Jay served 7 DFs.

All of the mens matches are on the second court tomorrow and the womens on centre. I understand the womens is the full tour event and bigger, but if I was a fan with tickets and realised I was missing out on the Brits in the mens, Id be disappointed there wasnt a split of matches on the centre court.

Probably controversial but..:

The order of play on the ATP website shows Dan as fourth match on Court 1, but is noted as a possible court change, so quite probable that the match could be switched to Centre.

Which be something - I dont know if the BBC feed shows court one, but with the players left , Id have gone for the Sakkari and Dart matches plus the Broady/Sock and Evo matches on centre court as the most attractive to the spectators and tv viewers. Tennis needs to sell itself in a crowded market place

Agreed, thats me watching none of the stream today, whilst Id have tuned in all day if theyd shown some of the decent mens matches.

Jan · Hall of fame

The men's matches can be watched via the ATP website. Bonus is no commentary!

The ATP site streaming for the men's matches is very decent - as said, perfect to have no commentary - decent quality picture, reasonable camera angle ....

Thanks for the tip both - hasnt realised that!
