- Briton progresses with 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 win over world No 83
- Talented Jack Draper beats sixth seed Félix Auger-Aliassime
Back in the grounds of his favourite grand slam, Dan Evans continued his rich run of form during the North American hard court swing as he returned to the third round of the US Open by defeating Australia’s James Duckworth 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.
After second-round victories for Andy Murray and Jack Draper on Wednesday, Evans’s win means Great Britain have three men through to the US Open third round for just the second time in the Open Era. Cameron Norrie was playing João Sousa last night, attempting to make it four British men past round two for the first time in the Open era.
