Evans furious: Wimbledon prepared him a shameful farewell
The British veteran finished on the sunken court 15 and accused the LTA of a farce. His sacrifice for the Olympics meant nothing but silence.
Daniel Evans didn't get a fairytale farewell at Wimbledon, but an administrative disaster that revealed the true face of tournament politics. The British tennis player, who is retiring from the professional scene after years of service, was forced to qualify after being denied a singles wild card by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA). His career thus ended not in Center Court glory, but in a morning doubles match on the obscure Court 15, a court that is usually the domain of junior hopefuls, not veteran national team players.
