No, you are correct - http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/report_evans_joins_lagardere_after_nishikori_win/

And thanks for the update, A1TA. It's good to know that he's not injured.

I was lucky enough to have chat with Boris Becker at Barclays hospitality at the 02 today and he said he was very impressed with Marcus Willis's rapid rise up the rankings this year .

Thats correct A1 is not managing Evo but he has agreed to agreed to play for The A1 Pharmaceuticals tennis academy in the premier ( National indoors ) Doubles tournament . The event organiser is very pleased that we are helping bring Evo to the event .
The tournament founder & director is mike Dixon who is one of the unsung heroes of GB mens team tennis and A1 Pharmaceuticals plc are a proud sponsor of his unique Event that mike has struggled and persevered with over many years
We feel it's important that such events are supported as they can be an important source of funding particularly futures players they also help keep GB ATP players supporting GB team events instead of being lost to french & German club league
Our A1 national indoors squad includes Marcus willis ( captain ) , Lewis Burton , Dan Evans & Rob carter .
A 5th player is yet to be announced .
The finals are in Sunderland end of march 2014 .

Thats at Doxford Park if I remember correctly, also I'm sure the likes of Jo Durie have played there in the past, certainly made the local news.

Nice mention and thanks for Gary from both. (After Lewis' first week he says)

It was nice to get that positive feedback .I think Lewis was referring to the first week I worked with him in a management role

We discussed his goals & targets and he said top 100 doubles which i agreed was a realistic target for 2015

Remembering 5 uncles & a grandfather who fought for their country during WW2 and the freedom we often take for granted

I am grateful that my sons and the young lads in my teams only ever have to fight for victory in a tennis match .

Remembering at the menin gate on 11/11/2014 in ypres ,Flanders .

Tennis commentator Paul Cumberbatch is with us at the Barclays ATP world tour SF Fed v Nadal . Fed has a huge crowd behind at the 02 arena but Paul believes that Nadals relative youth will edge it !

Caroline wants feddie bear to win ! Paul says Feddie is failing to close ! Ian Clarke does not know what's happening because had too many £4.90 02 pints ! Lol

Or perhaps the fact that Nadal has had the best year of his career in 2013, easing to world #1 despite missing the AO and all the warm up tournaments, the fact that Nadal has a 21-10 record against Fed prior to the match, the fact that this has been by far Fed's worst year since winning Wimbledon and the fact that the bookie's had Fed as a significant underdog would have been more of a factor than Nadals youth. Not the biggest insight from Mr PC, but at least he was correct.
