Briton Kyle Edmund earned his first ATP Tour win in 29 months on Monday, but was unable to replicate the feat Tuesday. Countryman Daniel Evans ousted Edmund 6-1, 6-2.

The 16th seed won 61 per cent of his return points and broke his opponent’s serve six times from eight opportunities to move on after 63 minutes.

“My focus was very good. I had a bit of a blip at the end, but I thought I didn’t do much wrong. He hit I think three winners,” Evans said in his on-court interview. “Just really happy to be going still. It’s always nice to start a new swing off with a win and it’s nice to be through to the third round.”

He will next face Daniel Evans, who saved a match point before advancing past third seed Taylor Fritz via retirement, leading 3-6, 7-6(6), 4-1. Fritz, playing in his first event since his Wimbledon quarter-final loss to Rafael Nadal, began to struggle physically in the second set but found a brilliant backhand winner to bring up match point at 6/5 in the second-set tie-break.

But Evans was rock solid in winning the next three points to level the match, and continued to make the fading Fritz work in the third set before his eventual retirement.

Daniel Evans defeated Taylor Fritz for the second time in as many weeks early Thursday evening, claiming a 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-5 win on Court 9. After Fritz retired in the third set of the pair's Washington matchup last week, the American fought to the end in Montreal. The 10th seed denied Evans on his first attempt to serve out the match at 5-4 in the decider, though the Briton played his part with three ad-side double faults into the net.

But Evans responded with an instant break back and made no mistake in his second attempt to book his quarter-final place on serve.

Evans & Carreno Busta Finish Strong, Set Montreal SF

Spoiler:

Daniel Evans was being played off the court by a red-hot Tommy Paul in the pair's Montreal quarter-final on Friday evening. But the workmanlike Briton kept the faith in his steady game to advance to his second career ATP Masters 1000 semi-final with a hard-fought 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.

"The crowd, that's what they buy their tickets for. That's live sport," Evans said in his post-match press conference. "You never know what's going to happen. It was an amazing match, amazing atmosphere. I played on the court before. In the day it was amazing, but at night, there's something about playing sport at night, it's extra special."

After Paul filled up the highlight reel with his pace and powerful ground game early on, Evans capitalised on the slightest of openings in sets two and three to win both by a single break. The 32-year-old secured an early lead in the deciding set, then crucially escaped 15/40 to move within one game of victory at 5-3.

Evans saw a match point go begging in spectacular fashion on return and absorbed one last Paul backhand pass on serve before completing the turnaround by expertly backing up strong serving in the clutch.

"I just didn't think he could carry that on," Evans said of his opponent's blistering start. "If he did, I had to walk off and shake his hand."

In his 4-3 service game in the final set, Evans rode his luck as Paul clipped the tape on a mid-court forehand — the sort of ball he feasted on for much of the two-hour, 17-minute contest. The World No. 39 took matters into his own hands the rest of the way as he powered to the key hold.

Evans saved six of eight break points in the match as he withstood 41 winners from Paul, who stunned second seed Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday. The American moved up three places to No. 31 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings by reaching the quarter-finals, setting himself up to reach a new career-high.


With wins against fifth seed Andrey Rublev and 10th seed Taylor Fritz in the previous two rounds, Evans is through to his second Masters 1000 semi-final in as many years. He upset then-World No. 1 Novak Djokovic to reach that stage at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters in 2021 and also reached back-to-back Masters 1000s doubles finals with countryman Neal Skupski last season (Miami, Monte Carlo).

With victory in his first ATP Head2Head meeting with Paul, Evans improved his 2022 record to 19-17 and sealed progress to a second tour-level semi-final of the year (Sydney). He has moved up 16 places to No. 23 in the Pepperstone ATP Live Rankings this week and also occupies 23rd place in the Pepperstone ATP Live Race To Turin.

As he turned the tide in the second set against the American, Evans excelled at winning points from attacking positions, as illustrated by INSIGHTS: Conversion statistics from TennisViz. His 70 per cent conversion rate on such points exceeded the ATP Tour average of 66 per cent.
