Dan Evans is enjoying being back at the Citi Open in Washington D.C.
The 35-year-old won the ATP 500 title back in 2023, which is the biggest championship win of his career.
Two years on and Evans is back into the fourth round in America’s capital as he searches for his third career title.
Dan Evans has enjoyed an impressive summer of tennis but this could very well be one of the last times he enters this portion of the year as a tennis player.
Dan Evans thinks the end of his tennis is on the horizon
Evans is now in his mid-thirties and has been on the ATP Tour for the better part of two decades.
He has been one of Britain’s most hardworking and consistent players and he has helped to pave the way for the next generation of players.
But as he continues to battle on court, Evans, who lost to Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon, admits he does not believe he has much time left in his playing career.
“I have always said, even when I had established myself in the Top 30 or Top 40, that winning on this circuit is never easy,” Evans told the ATP website.
“The best part of winning on the tour is, after the victory, getting on the bike to warm up and being with the people who work with you every day.
“Sometimes we take it for granted, but the last year, or the last two years, have been tough, and I definitely enjoy it, treasure every moment I spend on these courts because the end of my career is approaching, I can’t hide from that.”
Dan Evans reaches the fourth round at the Citi Open in Washington
Evans saved some of his best tennis for the Citi Open and he is proving it yet again.
The Briton began his latest campaign in America’s capital by coming from a set down to defeat Zizou Bergs 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Evans followed that victory by upsetting Alex Michelsen 6-4, 6-4, which marked his seventh successive win at the Citi Open.
Evans’ next opponent is the tricky Corentin Moutet, who defeated fellow Frenchman Alexandre Müller for the loss of just one game.
