Dan Evans to Retire From Professional Tennis After Wimbledon

He plans two final tournaments to finish "on a high," and his current ranking means entry to Wimbledon will probably depend on a wildcard.

Overview

  • Evans announced his retirement in an Instagram post saying he will stop playing professionally after this year’s Wimbledon and thanking family, team and supporters.
  • He closes a 20-year career that included two ATP Tour titles, a career-high world No. 21 ranking and runs to Masters 1000 semi-finals.
  • Evans is widely remembered for helping Great Britain win the Davis Cup in 2015 and for teaming with Andy Murray in the 2024 Olympic doubles.
  • He has played only sporadically in 2026, lost in Grand Slam qualifying rounds and has fallen to a ranking that is reported to be around the 200s.
  • The practical next step is whether Wimbledon grants him a wildcard so he can make a farewell appearance, and fans will watch how organisers and his team plan his final events.
