Colin Fleming
Former British tennis playerWell maybe the pressure just telling slightly there from Evans, not his best game of the match, that's for sure. Tomas Martin Etcheverry has been so good today, playing his first match of the week.
It's been huge amounts of power but it hasn't just been the power in his game, he's been very intelligent tactically, he's made adjustments, he's been willing to come forward, sharp at the net. Well worth his opportunity to serve this match out now.
