Dan Evans announced his split from coach Mark Hilton on Tuesday but has regained some form towards the end of the 2020 tennis season. However, it was a disappointing evening for Jamie Murray and his doubles partner Neal Skupski.

British number one Dan Evans is through to the quarter-finals of the European Open with a 7-6(3), 6-2 win over American Frances Tiafoe in Antwerp.

It is the first time Evans has registered back-to-backs on the ATP Tour since February. He put an end to his five-match losing streak with a victory over Italian qualifer Salvatore Caruso in the opening round before yesterday's straight-sets victory.

The 30-year-old will face Karen Khachanov or Belgian Zizou Bergs in the quarters.
