Dan Evans Loses to De Minaur at US Open

Dan Evans' US Open campaign ended in disappointment as he succumbed to injury during a third-round match against Australia's Alex de Minaur, losing 6-3, 6-7 (4), 6-0, 6-0. Evans had previously made history by winning the longest match in US Open history against Karen Khachanov, but the exertion took its toll, leading to fatigue and a medical timeout for his right hip. Despite battling hard to level the match at one set all, he could not maintain his energy, ultimately losing the last two sets without winning a single game. De Minaur, who was also dealing with a hip injury, praised Evans for his competitive spirit. Evans exits the tournament with renewed confidence in his ranking despite the loss, while De Minaur advances to face Jordan Thompson in the next round.
