With his sneaky tactics, his surprising speed and outstanding defensive game, Dan Evans has a way to get under his opponents’ skin. He’s not the most powerful or the most imposing, but his game is venomous, taking down even the strongest opponents one by one. His victim list is impressive: Alexander Zverev, David Goffin, Fabio Fognini, Andrey Rublev… Dan has risen to become Great Britain’s No. 1 tennis player, entering the ATP Top 30 and currently ranked No. 34. In 2015, he was part of the first Great Britain Davis Cup winning team in 79 years. He may not have won an ATP title yet, but it’s just a matter of time, as he has two finals to his name (Sydney 2017 and Delray Beach 2019). This year, he reached the semi-final in Dubai, only falling to Stefanos Tsitsipas. Counterpunching, drop shotting, volleying… he can do it all. Can he bite into one of the UTS Lightening trophies next?
