I said only last week I think that Jack is happy to take on anyone the other side of the net. Still only 20 and collecting impressive results. His game is not the finished article yet so the sky is the limit for young Jack. If he can keep winning big like this then no reason why he has not got a good crack at winning a slam in time. He just seems to have that certain ingredient you need to reach the top and clearly the fans love him. Our new Muzza everyone is my prediction for the future.

Khachanov seeded higher than I expected. A tough one that.

I got that wrong - was wearing the wrong glasses when I looked at the draw! Your comment made me look again. Khachanov is actually the 27th seed. I blame the smallness of the print! Have now amended my original post.

Just got back. So lucky to be there tonight. Jack was fantastic and always looked in control. The crowd love him here as well.
Managed to see most of Andys match and unfortunately all of Harriets. Also bits of Skupkski, Glasspool and Salisbury

Hoping to go again on Saturday but prices too high at present
This is some trip you are having seagull, have you been before, is this what you were expecting (can't attend like this at Wimbledon!) ?

Im not sure what I was expecting but it has certainly surpassed my highest hopes! Got very lucky with the courts I had prebooked months ago.

Friday and Saturday are pretty much sold out but going to take a walk to box office today (we are only staying around 15 mins walk from venue) to see if that is the case. Otherwise its possibly Sunday and hope Jack still going (or Andy).

Will do a proper summary when Im home but off to Central Park now!

Dan Evans wins first set 6-3 (James Duckworth).

Neil Gee · Club Coach

It's getting better 6-2 (second set).

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Duckworth is starting to read Evo's game, according to commentary, and he's got nothing to lose, takes it 6-4.

Another set looms. We have to wait a little longer for Cam's game (as he's up on court 12 next).

Phew! Dan got there in the end!

Jimmy09 · Intermediate Club Player

Two beautiful passing shots in the last game of Dans. Match point was a screamer backhand down the line

Jaffa · Challenger level

That was a stupendous shot to win, no wonder he reacted like that. I think thats as animated as Ive ever seen him!

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Come on Cam. Let's make it 4 out of 4 through to the last 32.

Not kidding, Dan way to passive in the third and he was forced to be more aggressive to come back into the fourth. That bh passing winner a must see, a beauty.

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Early break, this is looking good. 2-1 and serving.
