Unsound looking score for Fed but what little I saw of the match suggested it was a fun match that Evans played his part in.

I don’t take much from Feds early round matches, in fact in recent years his best events seem to involve slightly more competitive early round matches.

If anyone is underrated it’s Evans, but then again, same problem as Kyrgios - he is like a bungalow - not much upstairs!

Shame I couldn’t watch the match, must’ve been a treat.

I saw the first two sets of Fed.  He looked ok but not great.  Some nice play but also some errors especially on FH side.  It was an enjoyable match to watch though.  Evans has a nice game and he played really well (I remember watching him at the USO having MP vs Wawrinka the year Stan won the USO, and he is quite entertaining when playing well).  Even so, a Fed in top form should have won more easily.

But I did not see anything that would give me specific concerns about Fed's movement or health.  Maybe he will step it up in later rounds.  Or maybe he is just getting too old.
