British Tennis Star Dan Evans To Retire After Wimbledon

British tennis player Dan Evans has announced that he will retire after this summer’s Wimbledon.

This year’s Wimbledon starts on 29 June, although Evans would have to go through qualifying or receive a wildcard to play in the main draw.

He has failed to advance through qualifying at the past three Grand Slams, while he received a wildcard for last year’s Wimbledon.

The tournament’s wildcard committee will meet on Tuesday to decide which players they would like to invite into the main draw.

The 36-year- old former British No 1 and former world No 21, is best known for his exploits representing Great Britain at the Davis Cup, where he was part of the winning team in 2015.

Evans also memorably teamed up with Andy Murray in the men’s doubles at the Paris Olympics in 2024, reaching the quarter-finals in the Scot’s final professional tournament.

He won two ATP Tour titles, with his biggest being the ATP 500 in Washington in 2023, and the ATP 250 Murray River Open in 2021, when he beat Felix Auger-Aliassime to lift the trophy.

Now the British No 10, Evans posted a collage of photos from his career to Instagram on Thursday alongside the announcement of his impending retirement.

He wrote: “After an incredible journey, I wanted to share some personal news with you all. I will be retiring from professional tennis following this year’s Wimbledon championships.

“This sport has given me everything. The friendships, the experiences, the battles and even the hard days were special in hindsight. I have loved every single minute of being a professional tennis player. To my parents, my wife and my family, thank you for your unwavering support through every high and low. None of this would have been possible without your support.
