Evans will have played four matches in three days, but wasn’t complaining.

“It’s difficult to moan. We’re lucky we can come out here and just pretty grateful that we are still able to work with everything, which is a disaster at home really,” he said.

The 20th-seeded Auger-Aliassime will face German lucky loser Cedrik-Marcel Stebe in the first round this year.
