Daniel "Dan" Evans (born 23 May 1990) is a British professional tennis player. He is a former British No. 2 and plays right-handed. Evans made his Davis Cup debut for Great Britain in September 2009. He is from Hall Green, Birmingham, England. Evans is often referred to as "Evo". Evans reached the semifinals of Zagreb in 2014 as a lucky loser and the third round of the 2013 US Open as a qualifier, defeating Kei Nishikori, Philipp Kohlschreiber and Bernard Tomic during both runs. ==Early and personal life== Evans' father, David, is an electrician, and his mother a nurse. His grandfather Brian died on 29 July 2011. He has a large family, with eight aunts and uncles. Evans first played squash with his father, aged seven, only falling into tennis by chance a couple of years later. Once Evans had got to grips with his preferred racket it became apparent quickly that he had some ability and he began training in earnest. He moved from training in Solihull to Edgbaston Priory aged 10. By the time he was 13, Evans had moved to Loughborough to live with a host family while training at the LTA’s academy at Loughborough University. Of his time at Loughborough he said: “I was never the best at 14 and 15, in fact I was probably the worst. I was smaller than the others and a bit of a late developer, but I always thought I was pretty good and in the end I was the best.” Evans also has a single figure golf handicap and is still a capable squash player.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Evans (tennis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
