Evo takes first set, very well played. Griekspoor is a powerful player, a proper fearhand he has there. Dan doing a great job limiting him with his legendary back slice.

Spots of rain threaten continually now.. Still they play after another short delay, how annoying for Evo.

off again due to threat of lightening - just realised this is on Prime and switched on to see them walking off!! First I have seen live all week so that was disappointing!

'Lightening in the area' is the statement from match Umps. Players off the court.

 You could watch replay of yesterday meanwhile.  Second set had some amazing shots in.  Watch the tie break at least.

I can't stay up unfortunately to wait for them to resume. So disappointing.

 Hi Julia - thanks, yep, I have seen the highlights each day and caught that section, it was very good - Dan has been excellent all week!! Just hoped for some live tennis and thought with the timing of this, great before bed!!! Not to be it seems!

Good start by Dan. Not waiting to see when they manage to restart again. Hopefully wake up to Evo in title town!

I can see how playing tennis in the sun can make you darker, but I dont see how it makes you lighter. I suppose they could be losing weight by burning up calories, but they have plenty of chance to eat and drink. They dont usually stop games for fear of players becoming lighter, and how dangerous is it anyway.

All the more impressive given how much he's struggled all year, was beginning to think his best days were behind him.
