There was an interesting feature on Dan by John Westerby in Monday's Times (behind a paywall) which was part interview/part assessment of where he stands at the moment.  Some choice extracts:

"As you go along, you gradually find your game, you find what works for you," Evans said. "It would have been nice to have done it a bit earlier in life, but that's how it goes sometimes. Everyone finds it at different points. I found my way in the end."

He will not, he is keen to stress, be content with a top-30 ranking gained through his victories this year over David Goffin and Alex de Minaur at the ATP Cup, Karen Khachanov in Rotterdam, then Fabio Fognini and Andrey Rublev in Dubai. "It's a good achievement, but hopefully I can go higher," he said. "It's a poor trait in British tennis to be happy with top 100, or top 30, or whatever it might be. It's good that there's me and Kyle [Edmund, now ranked 44], who's been very high, and obviously Andy [Murray], and I hope younger players are wanting to get up there. You never know what you can do if you keep striving.2

But he returned to tennis [after the drug ban - an event not dwelt on, but used as a hook on which to hang an explanation of Dan's comeback] with his focus narrowed, his love for the game intact and a desire to simplify his life in keeping tennis as a priority. Take, for example, the decision to stay away from social media. "With what's happened, I just never wanted to go back," he said. "I was on there for a long time and it's just disasters all over. It's difficult not to bite at the idiots on there."

.....

Watching Evans is anything but dull. He is playing with a relish that endears him to the audience, with a twinkle in his eye. Would moving further up the rankings change his life a great deal? "No way, not for me," he says, adamantly. "I'm settled living in Cheltenham and I'll stay there now. I've got a great girlfriend [Aleah], she travels with me most weeks and my dad's around a lot too. I don't need much else in my life.

It appears that Dan is on the list for Barcelona this year.

No sign of Kyle or Cam.

Odds are that the event will be cancelled at this point in time. If it goes ahead it will likely be behind closed doors.

I'm not looking to buy tickets.  That's for sure.

Don't panic yet.  There is still a chance you may get in.

Excellent news. 

Anyone just listened to the interview with Dan on Radio 5 Live? Didn't know his mum (a nurse) had had coronavirus, glad she seems to be on the mend.

Had to laugh when I heard he's not the best cook!
