Wow. The definition of an all-court match. The amount of court coverage and shot variety was nuts
You mean, you like nuts?
all-court matches are always more pleasing to watch
Is an Evans' slice backhand a variety? )
@@drarov91 He has all the other shots. I saw him block a few backhand returns and hit some decent topspin drives. So there's your answer.
The fact that he doesn't hit enough topspin backhands for YOUR taste - and let me guess, you either don't play tennis or pretty poor at it and so aren't a connoisseur of the game - doesn't make the total anything less than 'variety'. If anything, the one shot that seemed to be missing in this match was the forehand slice. Ruud does that one very nicely....
[Btw: I am a very experienced tennis player and have played lots of tennis at county standard. My game is very similar to Dan's - without the intelligence sadly - but I hit way more topspin backhands than he does. I'm not sure why he doesn't do it - he has the shot......]
@@danguee1 agreed. Dan likely avoids the top spinner to preserve consistency. I noticed when he did go for it a lot more a few years ago, he lost a lot more of those critical points. Also, today's game of defensive two handers just isn't friendly for the one hander. Anyways, I also think Dan's slice bh sets up the rest of his general game plan, which seems to set traps for weak returns. Dan is a patient player who clearly understands he doesn't have the power to blow opponents over, so he has to depend on his guile.
This match was so entertaining, both Evans and Paul were playing so well, I honestly wish I could've been there to watch it, definitely one of the most entertaining matches of the year so far, along with a bunch of Alcaraz's matches because his defensive game is so fun to watch.
Recently, I saw the full match on TH-cam of last years US Open between Alcaraz and Tsitsipas. If you enjoy seeing Alcaraz play you'll love this match if you haven't already seen it. th-cam.com/video/RzEw4pTdLEU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=USOpenTennisChampionships
Agreed with all but Alcaraz 🥴 ahah
True: fun to watch. But typically, not the most successful. You have to have the outstanding physical and mental skills of Raffa and Novak to win matches this way.
People make fun of defensive players but I think there are more entertaining because they create longer rallies and and use clever strategies to win points.
Absolutely love watching Dan Evans play. He may not have the big weapons but when it comes to pure tennis IQ, I'd argue he's the best. Real all court player and his shot selection is up there with the best
I think he knows how to beat his opponent's mentally which is just as effective.
He is most definitely underrated.
Totally agree 👍 and because of the reasons you mentioned, he always manages to turn every match he plays into an all court show. I believe Evans is a great example especially for beginners and teenagers to see the importance of fundamentals, variation, anticipation and shot selection in a tennis player.
I used to dislike him for no reason. Now i'm happy to be a fan
Agreed mate. A joy to watch, especially with that craft and one hand backhand.
Evans has been playing lights out this entire tournament. Krajinovic, Rublev, Fritz, and now Paul. Despite his lack of power and height, he makes up for it with his smart tactics. Neutralizing opponents with the slice, patient groundstrokes and sharp angles, and the well-timed net game. Evans finally showing everyone what he’s made of.
Don't forget his serve, 70 percent plus placed to backhands and out wide on the ad side
"Finally showing people what he's made of..." - I disagree. Evans has been performing well for a few seasons now:
- He reached a Masters semi last year, beating Djokovic en route
- He's been to the 4th round of the US Open and the Aussie Open
- He's beaten numerous top 20 players
Evans has been showing his quality for a while.
And only now they're finally showcasing him in the highlights
Dan Evans makes the best use out of all of his strengths. He also knows how exploit his opponent's weaknesses and shake their confidence. but the most impressive thing to me and for anyone to get this far in the tournament is his consistency and lack of errors especially since his style doesn't leave a lot of margin for error.
@@mrenigma4641 Evans has a pretty good resume for being ranked 39.
Great respect between these two players as well, has to be said, they applaud eachother and show great respect to one another!
It’s not that the tour isn’t top heavy anymore, or that it’s a “weak next gen” it’s that the tour is disgustingly stacked with deep talent from top to bottom. No wonder it’s hard to stay consistent when everybody above the top 100 has the raw talent to beat anybody any given night
This is why the GOATs are the GOAT's, the great players like Roddick who could beat everyone else could not beat Federer for their entire career. Now in the weak era, with the GOAT's slowly fading, there is a group of 10 players that can win tournments, and it switches. Their lack of experience means they don't yet have a strategic game plan to win against every other player. Zverev, Sinner, Alcaraz are on their way, but they are stil vulnerable!
Not true, we are in a weak era.
The big 4 at their peak was the golden age of tennis.
@@jamieling3424 there was never a big 4. Just big 3/ fading unto big 2.
That's what I always say about sport - anyone can beat anyone else on any given day. That's why they have to play the game. Just because we've gone through a period where 3 players dominated the tour doesn't mean we don't have very talented players now. Maybe we won't have 3 who dominate (personally, I thought that was boring and had given up on watching tennis), but we'll have a variety of players with their strengths and weaknesses. As a Medvedev fan, I want him to win every match and tournament he plays, but realistically it's just not going to happen because there are too many other players who are just as talented and can win too. (I think a lot of this talk comes from the fans of the big 3 who keep wanting to prove that their favorite player was the best ever and no one will ever come close. Which they probably won't, but that's ok because I don't think any of the "next gen" players think they can either.)
@@mrsjake1828 I think we share a lot of views here. I recently started following tennis again and I'm amazed at what I think are the number of players, both men and women, that are talented overall (not everyone) and fun to watch. I don't believe in this concept of weak era just because there aren't a few players that dominate year after year, which can get boring.
Both were stretching every bit of their muscles to their extremes and also made the viewers stretch to their extremes. Really insane stuff.
Both Tours are just stacked w great players. Glorious times.
Absolutely not true, most of games plan are becoming stereotypical (more on the WTA though) and there's absolutely no consistency from TOP 20 players (a part from Djokovic, 35 years old and Nadal, 36 years old, which are both off-prime).
can't stand WTA, so boring
You must be taking the piss. We are currently in the weakest eras of all time for both the women's and men's tours.
@@quentinhirschfeld9382 You don’t have a good eye for the subtleties of tennis strategy, need to pay attention more, or both. The top 20 of both tours is a who’s who of champions, finalists, semi and quarterfinalists in the world’s most prestigious events including majors.
@@AinSoph73
Watch the ATP TOP 20 from 10-15-25,... years ago, compare it to the current one and dare continue to argue we're witnessing an incredible era!
evans might not have the most consistent or powerful groundstrokes or serve but he makes up for it with placement and strategy. well played by both, however!
Such a great scrapper.
Reminds me of thomas muster
His kryptonite is Nishioka. His H2H record is 0-5 against him. I dunno why a good player like him still cannot figure out Nishioka’s gameplay
Absolutely love the strategy, so essential and high-level Tennis i’d really helps you win matches so much easier
@@mejartomlinson7065 nishioka always gets the ball back, and nisho doesnt give any pace to the ball, so evans cant kill for the points
When you see this match, the upsets they pulled (Evans defeating Rublev and Fritz, Paul defeating Alcaraz) no longer seem like upsets
I just don't understand currently anymore what is an upset and what not. In almost every tournament there is an underdog playing outstandingly well, beating the Top 10 elite (Baez, Cerundolo, Paul, can't remember who else...). I kinda enjoy this 🙂
Evans used to practise with Federer -
He uses the slice and variety similar to him at times
I didn't even know if he was a one-hander or a two-hander because he sliced so much.
DAMN, after that commanding for set I really thought Tommy Paul had it. It was so crazy to see how Dan Evans started coming back in the second set. !In the third set, I thought, surely Tommy Paul will dominate the third set because he had such a strong person and usually that means the player that wins the second set is tired. Nope, Dan Evans strong as ever, strong finish, congrats to him!
final set had some of the best tennis of the year
Saw Evans at a challenger tournament in Vancouver five years ago. Smart player. Good serve and court sense.
no player on the tour can play such a slice in my opinion. Brutal technique
A win against any player in the top 50 or 60 seems to be incredibly well earned. On the right day they can all turn up and play at such a high level, it's amazing to watch.
Dan Evans has such an enjoyable game to watch
He's fun to watch when he's not bouncing the ball for 30 seconds before serving. lol
Dan Evans has such an attractive game and he is absolute treat to watch live.
I was there in Sydney from day one when he was playing Granollers and it is by far the most entertained i have ever been at a tennis tournament.
Wow it was a battle and some coarse language and some wonderful tennis.
Please make sure you watch Dan play live especially if its an outside court and especially if theres no cameras for the match where he can do whatever he feels naturally
Love Dan Evans, old school feel with a modern touch, the pro staff 6.1 95 is still a deadly weapon!
His top spin BH is so 90's Spanish, so clay. The slice seems insanely slow, not viscious attacking slice like Graf (?) Or fast like Dimitrov. He is one of the few players who can really slow down the opponent's rythm with his slice.
Excellent net game, quite above average tour level.
Very smart, I think he is very talented, but most of his cat and mice game comes from his intelligence not from extremely precise little touch skills like Kyrgios .
This is what I want to see in tennis! Only big serve is boring.
Evo has lost 3 breadstick sets in the tournament so far and he's through to the semifinals, playing an insane level of tennis in the crucial moments. What a match this was again from him. Not sure how much is left in the tank for the semis but he's done incredibly well here.
insane, paul played like nadal and evans started feeling it back, one upped him for the win. insane some of these montreal matches
Awesome match. The QF results have been against the odds
There are so many great players now.
What a wonderful match. Thank you for the highlights, wish i was there in real life. Atmosphere must've been great!
What a match.. must be treat for the crowd
A joy to watch! Paul has had a fantastic tournament and Evans too! Evans' style is so varied... Love his game😎.
I donno if anyone noticed ..but these guys must be the nicest guys on the tour....both of em never missing any chance to applaud their opponents shot even when this was such a closely fought match
Great
Well played Dan! 👍🏻 You absolutely deserve to be in the semis. You're a real contender for the title. I hope you go on to win Montreal!👊🏻
Tommy Paul is always entertaining
Watching Evans evolve into a real quality player .
Evans plays so smart. His brain is his weapon. He doesn't have serious pace, big serve or great movement. He uses his great anticipation, brain and variety to beat players. At this level, it's very impressive. I think he could be a consistent top 20 player, even top 15, if he could just get some consistent depth on that backhand, it would help so much. They fall a ft inside or outside of the service line everytime. A shot he could definitely improve on.
italian and american tennis are on a high. but looks like british tennis wants to join the party as well. they've done really well in this tourney.
Man! Heck of a battle. Good watch. The lucky fans that got to see it in person.
Tommy is seriously underrated
I also thought this last year! But there were many underrated players like him. I like the new generation of USA. All of them were solid hard court players with a high portion of talent.
I was too upset to see Monfils go.. and O-MY-GOSH, here comes Dan Evans!!! Just last week he got thru after Taylor gave up in DC, and this week Dan sent Taylor off legit. What a beautiful one-handed backhand 😲 And the volleys!! 😲 And moving around like a freaking bouncy ball / Energizer 🐰 AND he's also playing doubles!! (No, don't even start comparing him to Kyrgios, Dan's not an ass) Thanks to Tommy Paul, this was "da match" - absolutely stunning, woo-hoo!!! Bravissimo 👏🥰👏 You got a new fan here, you go all the way now, Dan!! 🤘🏆🤘
Wow awesome job. Insane match. Way to go Dan!
I didn't know Tennis could be played this way.
I think the same thing can be said for Krygios matches, including the match earlier today (at least the first two sets).
@@smurfette1509 I agree. I was literally wondering while watching these games, "Is Tennis evolving into something new??"
@@thenakedsingularity Evans' game is actually very old-school, a classic style that used to be prevalent in the 20th century, but has almost disappeared in the last 2 decades. I loved watching tennis in the 80s and 90s, because there was so much variety, many players playing an all-court game similar to Evans. That's why I love watching Evans now, as it reminds me of the real golden times of tennis.
Tennis TV, please upload the Sinner/Carreno Busta match.
Match of the tournament. Incredible stuff.
Paul is the Agassi of today. Hope he continues to improve.
De Minaur reminds me more of Agassi.
@@pureffm nah Agassi's groundstrokes had power to them. de Minaur's groundstrokes barely have any power in them, despite the fact that he has newer racquet technology.
@@hello-mv6yg No I mean because of his looks!
@@pureffm what resemblance? They don't even remotely alike.
@@hello-mv6yg The flashy outfits, the emphasis on hair cuts.
Kind of a random player to say you’re a fan of, but I’ve been a fan of dan Evan’s for a while. I mean this in a good way but he’s almost like a budget Federer. Nice classy playing style.
evans best match..... ever! fantastic stuff!
Tommy❤
Unbelievable 🤩
Congratulations to both players .
I hope I'll get watch Dan Evans 1 day play
Great match!
All the rallies are insane, they brought their best to catch every ball
I met Dan Evans when he was playing the futures after his ban in Majorca, I’m delighted he’s back at the top, super player!
Gutted for TP because I thought he'd make the final. But what an entertaining match. 👏🏽👍🏽
Great match from both players. Fantastic entertainment for the crowd.
Get the fuck in dan. Not sure why it's the first time we've seen you in a highlight video this week. Awesome win.
oh my god..!!! What a tennis MATCH..!!!!
Great match! Congrat's booth players!
evan's playing style really reminds me of those players who used the wooden racquets in pre-modern era :v
Great match
Damn, awesome matchup.
Extremely Entertaining match...Great movement by both the players...Dan Evans always a tricky opponent with so much variety to his game.
Crazy game
This match was insanely good
Que jogo louco digno de uma final 😱
Carreno Busta x Draper foi melhor
Both players applauding each other, great to see such respect. On another note, everyone but Careno Busta now seem knackered
Unbelievable match! This shows how good literally everybody on the tour is these days. No one would have expected an Evans vs Paul match to be of this caliber
Wow!, Wow, Wow, great job.
The contrast in styles was superp Mind you Dan's style and artistry with the slice is a contrast to almost everyone.............he does it his way!
Evans can make the final he is so underrated
The best match here this year
That was a good match
What a remarkable match
Pablo Busta vs Dan Evans.
Hubert Hurkacz vs Casper Ruud.
I am going to love these semis!
1:14 what a return
this was an incredible match for both players!!! Evans really had to keep his UEs in check to beat Paul. Paul has been playing some really good tennis lately.
crazy entertaining
Congratulations Dan evans
Short buzzcut looks good on Evans
I just got to know the guy and I love him.
The most energetic match of this season!
Tommy Paul was playing lights-out tennis, particularly in the first set. Dan Evans did well to absorb everything Paul threw him and neutralise his opponent's game.
amazing
An even match by the stats. Paul was 2/8 on break points and Evans was 2/4. Not much separating them in serve and return. Paul had more success winning 2nd serve returns and more total points. Dan toughed out an even match with one break in set 2 and one in 3, to go up 2:0 over Paul. Next time, Tommy!
Молодец Эванс. Браво. Классическая, красивая манера.
Great match, these type of engagements are more rare these days because most players hit w so much depth and power it is hard to woven in the touch shots like lob Alice or drop shots consistently over a match, these two speeders hit just at the fast but too fast pace to give us great diversified entertainment
Go Evans go !!
My man evans❤️❤️❤️❤️
Evans gets a lot of surprising wins because his game is different. He slices his backhand and gets to the net, and it really disrupts a lot of players' rhythms because they're just not used to that kind of play.
Love Evans, reminds me very much of Thomas Muster (both phisically and game wise)
finally a good result for Evans this season!
Dan Evans in God mode!
Just wow! We are being spoilt for quality. The open is shaping up to be one of the best.
Dan the slice Evans
Wish Paul good luck at USO. His game is so fun to watch. Much more entertaining than that Kyrios.
More talented player won. In a match of big talent.
👍👍👍👍.. pertandingan yang sangat sae banget❤❤👍👍..
This video definitely shows us how to dance on the court.
اقوة لعبة
Woooow!
It shows you don't have to be a pretty boy to win matches.
hahaha
BWEEEH!!!
To be 175cm and competing with guys who are usually 185cm + means you have to be incredibly gifted. It doesn't get said often enough because of what he did but Evans is still a remarkably good player.
Wah Wah Wah! What an amazing competition! Paul just won hot Alcaraz, but was quickly defeated by Evans. Evans is a player that sometimes can give the world a surprise, but he needs consistency.
Evans is the new version of younger Murray!
