What a performance by Evans! One of the best performances of his life! He produced some great tennis over the course of the 2 and a half hours and gave Federer a run for his money! Anyway, its upwards from here for Federer and he will take on the winner of the match between Gael Monfils and Taylor Fritz in the 3rd round on Friday, January 18
FEDERER WINS!! He seals the match in straight sets in 2 hours and 35 minutes! He finishes off the final game with a hold to love! He is into the 3rd round now.
FEDERER TAKES THE 1ST SET! WHAT A SET! 1 hour of brilliant tennis from both players! No one would have expected Dan Evans to play so well but he has defied all odds.
Evans saves a set point and produces some exceptional tennis to take it to the tie-break! He has hit just two unforced errors in the entire match so far!
Another couple of holds of serve from each player. Federer had a chance at 30-30 in the previous game but a couple of errors from his forehand gave the game to Evans
