• Emotional Evans marks GB return following drugs ban
Davis Cup in Glasgow without Andy Murray does not seem quite right but Dan Evans returned from the wilderness in Great Britain’s colours to open the tie against Uzbekistan on Friday with a brutal five-set win over Denis Istomin that went a long way to compensating for the Scot’s absence. At the outset of what is almost certainly the team’s last appearance here for a long time the gifted Birmingham maverick won 7-6 (4), 4-6, 0-6, 6-4, 7-5.
“It’s good to be back, especially in Glasgow,” he said courtside. “We’ve had so many good ties here. Maybe this is the last one.”
