The victory left him with little in the tank, but he overcame Argentine Mario Navone in straight sets in the second round and gave it his all for Saturday's match against the 10th seed. "It's been an amazing sort of week. I come to America with no expectations and a lot of doubt, and I left with a lot of, you know, clarity that I can still do it at the higher level."
Evans was barely able to put up a fight as De Minaur held his serve in the next game but saw it through to the end as the Australian, who has fought through injury issues of his own in New York, had clear control from there.The match brought an unfamiliar feeling as the 34-year-old found himself on the right side of New York's fickle crowd, and the fans at Louis Armstrong willed him on despite his obvious distress.
