Dan Evans to have scan ahead of Wimbledon after suspected calf injury
Saturday 10 June 2017 16:56, UK
Dan Evans will undergo a scan on a suspected calf injury sustained on Saturday, three weeks before Wimbledon.
The British No 4 was playing Dustin Brown in the quarter-finals of the Aegon Surbiton Trophy.
Evans was leading 6-3 4-2 when, after returning a Brown serve, he pushed off on his left leg and began hopping in pain and was unable to continue before hobbling off the court with heavy strapping on his leg.
Evans said: "I just pushed off on a return and sought of heard and felt something go."
The 27-year-old is set to have a scan on Monday, when he should learn more about his grass-court season availability.
The timing is unfortunate to say the least, with Wimbledon, where he reached the third round last year, only three weeks away.
Evans had been due to play a Challenger event in Nottingham next week before tournaments at Queen's Club and Eastbourne.
In the women's tournament, Heather Watson is through to the final after beating compatriot Harriet Dart and will face Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova.
