Dan Evans lost in four sets to Tommy Robredo and to be fair it was not too much of a surprise. However I think Dan should think about all the positives.
This time last year Dan was playing on the challenger tour so to be playing tennis at the highest level shows how much his game has developed his game.
If he keeps working had there is no reason why he is not a top fifty player by this time next year.
American wildcard Alison Riske beat Petra Kivtova in straight sets. I have not watched Alison play and yes Petra was carrying an injury but it was still an excellent result for Alison.
Victoria Azarenka beat Alize Cornet in three sets and it's the first time that Victoria has been tested in this competition and she was able to regroup and win.
It actually helps Victoria to have tough match now because if she does meet Serena Williams in the final she will better prepared for this potential encounter.
