WE really need to talk about Dan Evans.
Andy Murray is rightly front and centre in the last blockbuster act of his extraordinary career here in Paris.
But it would be a travesty not to pay tribute to the man who deserves a medal for being the best support act the Dunblane ace could wish for.
And you know what? He might just get one.
There was a moment in the second set at Roland Garros during Tuesday's second Titanic victory of this doubles epic. Victory was in sight for the British pair but they needed to find a break to make it comfortable.
Evans went wide down the line and passed up a chance to get a foothold in another set.
His reaction told a story how his racquet survived its beating is beyond me. It wasn't the first or last explosion of passion from a man prepared to go to any length to give his friend the best possible send-off after 19 years.
