Dan Evans in emotional farewell after Wimbledon retirement

Evans and Henry Searle lost 6-2, 6-4 to ninth seeds Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin in 67 minutes, ending his 20-year career.

  • On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, Dan Evans ended his professional tennis career at Wimbledon, losing his doubles match alongside Henry Searle 6-2, 6-4 to ninth seeds Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin on Court 15.
  • Evans announced his retirement last month, expressing frustration over the Lawn Tennis Association's decision to deny him wildcards for grass-court tournaments without providing explanation or dialogue.
  • Performing before an audience of around 300 spectators on Court 15, Evans later reflected: "In a strange way, I'm happy it's over. The door closes, and then another chapter starts."
  • Despite Evans' criticism of the LTA for a 'shambolic' send-off, three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray paid tribute, calling him an 'unbelievably talented guy' and fierce competitor.
  • His career achieved world No. 21, two ATP Tour titles, Davis Cup success with Great Britain, and a quarter-final run at the 2024 Olympic Games partnering Murray.
