- Evans: ‘I think we celebrate losses more than wins’
- Sebastian Korda, son of Petr, upsets Alex de Minaur
If success in tennis is measured by performances in grand slam tournaments, then Dan Evans may have fallen a little short to this point in his career, with a fourth-round showing at the Australian Open in 2017 his best run at one of the four biggest events.
At Wimbledon he has yet to go beyond the third round in five previous visits but, as the No 22 seed, his own expectations have grown and on Tuesday the 31-year-old began his campaign with a 7-6 (4), 6-2, 7-5 victory against the veteran Spaniard Feliciano López.
