Briton beaten 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 by Australian opponent in Paris‘There will be plenty of soul-searching … It’s disappointing’
Dan Evans said he will have ample soul-searching to do after his hopes of a positive French Open ended with a dispiriting 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 defeat against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the first round.
“I said the other day there’s some soul-searching,” said Evans, the 20th seed, referencing his recent criticism of British tennis. “There will be plenty of that tonight. Got to get on and try and get my game in a good spot. It’s shocking right now how I played today. 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.”
