EVANS WILL QUIETLY RETIRE IN OWN TIME

- by NEIL MCLEMAN

DAN EVANS was at Andy Murray’s side when the Scot said an emotional au revoir to tennis at the Paris Olympics last summer.

So how will the British No.5 say goodbye to the game?

“I’ll leave quietly, that's for sure,” the 35-year-old said with a smile.

“I probably won't tell anybody when I am finished. I’m not one for attention or anything like that. Then probably have a good party.”

Evans, who beat American Tommy Paul 6-4 3-6 6-3 at Eastbourne yesterday, has no immediate plans to hang up his racket and does not want this to be his last Wimbledon.

“I'm not ready yet - I've got another year left, I reckon - but there's no lying, it’s getting harder to get on the plane,” he said.
