French Open: Dan Evans to go “Soul-searching” following a “shocking defeat”

Posted : 29 May 2023
After his "shocking" first-round exit from the French Open, Dan Evans says he will conduct some "soul-searching," and Laura Robson believes the British player will "thrive" in the forthcoming grass-court season.
 
Evans has not had a spectacular 2023 season thus far, winning only eight games at the end of June for a win percentage of just 35%.
 
But after playing well against Thanasi Kokkinakis on Sunday, he lost in straight sets, 6-4 6-4 6-4, after getting into a dispute about a foot fault. However, after his loss in Paris, he turned to his own game.
"I've got my own battles to deal with right now on the court," Evans began.
 
"I've got to get my game in a spot where I'm able to compete at this level. I've been very poor in the big tournaments this year.
 
"[I had an] incredibly kind draw in Australia [at the Australian Open, where he reached the third round] and came through a few matches, but I've been poor in the Masters, the one good tournament this year.
 
"I said the other day there's some soul-searching. There will be plenty of that in Saint-Cloud tonight, wherever I am. [I've] got to get on and try and get my game in a good spot.
 
"It's shocking right now how I played. It's disappointing. I thought I was in a good spot coming in, but I felt like that the whole time. It's not good enough."
 
Evans was clear that the foot fault controversy had affected his chances.
