- British No 1 was due to play singles and doubles for Team GB
- ‘I am hugely disappointed and currently self isolating’
The British No 1 Dan Evans has become the latest player to pull out of the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for Covid-19. The 31-year-old, having previously expressed reluctance to compete in Japan, was due to play singles and doubles alongside Neal Skupski.
Evans, who lost in the third round at Wimbledon, recently tested positive for coronavirus and has had no time to prepare for the Games. The news comes after 20-time major champion Roger Federer and British No 1 Johanna Konta withdrew on Tuesday.
