Always ready to compete and always ready to give the extra effort and run on the court, Evans was able to counter Gojowczyk's aggressive playstyle with ease. The German committed error after error and generally struggled to keep the ball in the court which was a perfect scenario for Evans. The Brit also served well enough to keep the German at bay which resulted in a very quick 6-2 first set finish.

The 2nd was even better by Evans who started becoming aggressive much more being the one to finish points this time around. He hit some amazing shots to frustrate Gojowczyk even further and the German simply melted down in the 2nd. More errors and a very composed Evans resulted in a 6-1 2nd set thrashing for the impressive victory in just 55 minutes.

Cam Norrie is coming up against Struff and the Brit will have the chance to send his nation into the semifinals.
