On the other side of the world Tim led the Great Britain Team in the ATP Cup.

Great Britain secured their place in the ATP Cup quarter final. After their defeat by Bulgaria they thrashed Moldova. Thanks Belgium’s victory over Bulgaria they played the hosts Australia in Sydney loosing narrowly 18 – 16 in the tie break. 

British number one Evans beat Goffin to inspire the turnaround against Belgium, which kept his team in the tournament and produced another impressive display against Albot. Evans is now poised to break into the world’s top 40 for the first time next week.


“Dan was world class again. Gave so little away. Got off to a very good start, took his opportunities, and it was a really clinical performance,” said British Captain Henman, a former world number four.I have known the tennis he’s capable of. I would just say the challenge is to deliver that consistently throughout a match, consistently throughout the tournament and throughout a year. We really focused on the mental side of things and just playing it point by point, trying to structure each point on his terms so he can be aggressive and dictate at the right moments. He’s done a great job.”
