LONDON: Andy Murray remains something of an anomaly for British tennis with his two Wimbledon titles papering over what is often a bleak fortnight on the grass for home hopes.
But Dan Evans is Britain's top dog these days, in terms of rankings, and the 22nd seed justified that title on Tuesday as he beat veteran Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 7-6 6-2 7-5. "It's a tough way to put it, but we enjoy putting up a valiant effort, not celebrating it, but we put it right out there," Evans told reporters."You guys as well like to deliver the losses pretty front page sort of stuff."I just think British mentality is that at the minute. I don't think we should be celebrating losses. I mean, yesterday was a great experience for Jack Draper , but probably he doesn't want to lose that match.
There were several British casualties in the women's draw, however, the most high-profile being Heather Watson who lost a late-evening cliffhanger against Kristie Ahn on Monday. Wildcard Harriet Dart was thrashed by Elise Mertens on Tuesday.Advertisement
