Dan Evans anuncia su retirada tras Wimbledon

El tenista británico Dan Evans anunció este jueves su retirada del tenis profesional. El deportista de 36 años pondrá fin a su carrera después del torneo de Wimbledon de este año.

Evans publicó la noticia en Instagram, cerrando una trayectoria que comenzó en 2006. Describió que el deporte le ha dado todo, incluyendo amistades, experiencias y batallas que ha valorado profundamente.

Representar a Gran Bretaña en la Copa Davis y en los Juegos Olímpicos destacó como el mayor honor de su carrera. Evans disputó 28 eliminatorias de la Copa Davis y contribuyó a la conquista del título del equipo en 2015.

Su carrera incluyó una suspensión de un año en 2017 tras dar positivo en una sustancia prohibida. Posteriormente, alcanzó la mejor clasificación de su carrera al situarse como número 21 del mundo en 2023 y ganó un título ATP 500 en Washington ese mismo año.

Evans, actualmente clasificado en el puesto 217, necesitará una invitación para entrar en el cuadro principal de Wimbledon. Alcanzó la tercera ronda del torneo en 2016, 2019 y 2021.
