D.O.B : 23/ 05 / 1990

Career High : 962

Current : 962

Dan has broken through after qualifing for two futures in Britain in Cumberland and Wrexham. And in them grabbing his first 2 future tourny title :)

Seems like we have a star in the making. :D

What does everyone else think of him??

I would say definitely yes to the top200, his record in Futures over the last couples of months has shown that he is more than comfortable at that level and is ready to start hitting the challengers once his ranking is high enough. Whether he makes the top100 is a totally different question and is more often than not an unfathomable one; it could hinge on his desire and/or his development mentally/physically and simply his overall tennis ability. So, in conclusion.. I have no idea ;)

Well, I am plumping for 'yes' with regards to reaching the top 200. I will be more willing to comment on Daniels' top 100 prospects at this time next year [by which time he could well be in the top 200..]. I think the main obstacle that Daniel has to overcome, and seems to 'be' overcoming at the moment, is his attitude - if he works hard and remains focused I don't doubt that the top 100 is a genuine possibility for him.

Well next weeks' Bauer Watertechnilogy Cup 2008 in Eckental is Germany's last Challenger of the year.. so yes, if the information is correct. The tournament is being played on indoor carpet so it will be interesting to see Dan's computability on the surface - we already know, to some degree, his credentials on outdoor/indoor hard.

Re: Daniel Evans

Yes, seems like it..

After getting a rap on the knuckles from the LTA earlier this year after some 'naughty behaviour' he seems to have re-focused and fully dedicated his efforts to tennis; obviously this is now showing in his top500 ranking.

Big 2009 hopefully..

ha that would be a bit of a push..

I wouldn't be surprised if he got stuck at around the 350 mark for a little while, as this seems, historically, to be a tricky mark to pass for younger players [Just look at Jonathan Eysseric & Peter Gojowczyk]. Although, of course, he could break the trend, especially come the grass season.
