- ‘How long are we going to wait?’ says British No 1
- Evans happy to play at US Open with one coach
Dan Evans loves New York. He has enjoyed many fine times there, on the court and off. And the British No 1, whose rise through the world rankings has been stalled at 28 since the pandemic paralysed tennis in February, is eager to return to Flushing Meadows for the US Open, tentatively pencilled in for late August.
Evans thinks tennis has fallen behind other sports in returning to competition and he is not worried about playing behind closed doors, or being allowed to take only a trainer or coach with him. He adds with a smile: “Being in New York on my own, that’s not ideal, is it? I think that would be one step too far, to go with no support staff. But there’s been other sports which are back out there, and this might be tennis for a little while now, with no crowd. How long are we going to wait? Are we going to wait until we can have perfection?
