DAN CHUCKS IT ALL AWAY

Evans admits: I lost match point on purpose

- NEIL McLEMAN

DAN EVANS claimed he did not care about getting booed by the Paris crowd after admitting he “gave away” match point to lose to the world No.95.

The British No .2 revealed he was suffering from a chest infection after going down 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-3 to Sweden’s Mikael Ymer (right).

The No.29, who coughed and spluttered throughout the match, needed medical treatment after the third set.

But the Court Six crowd still made clear their displeasure after Evans deliberately slapped his service return into the net on the final point.
