Evans to retire after Wimbledon

Daniel Evans will end his playing career following Wimbledon. The 36-year-old announced the news on social media on Thursday.

“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,” Evans wrote on Instagram.

“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.

“To every coach, trainer, physio, sponsor and member of my team over the years, the list is too long to name individually, but each of you played a part in shaping my career and I am truly grateful.

“Representing Great Britain in both Davis Cup and the Olympics remains the greatest honour of my career and something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I’m looking forward to finishing on a high across these final two tournaments and giving everything I have one last time. Thank you for the support. Evo.”

Evans made his tour-level debut at the Queen’s Club in 2008 and earned his first ATP Tour win at the same venue in 2013.

The Briton lifted the biggest trophy of his career at the ATP 500 event in Washington in 2023 and also triumphed at an ATP 250 event in Melbourne in 2021. Evans reached a career-high No. 21 in the PIF ATP Rankings following his Washington run in 2023.

Evans was part of the Great Britain squad that won the Davis Cup title in 2015 and teamed with Andy Murray at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, where former World No. 1 Murray retired.
