He was showing on a the ITF entry list in Portugal for 2 weeks time before the withdrawal deadline 2 days ago. So maybe he is not far off making a comeback. Might see him on the UK Pro series or similar instead?
Such a shame! He seemed to be on the upward trajectory a few years back, seems like a real great guy
Had the pleasure of meeting Evan here in Spain when he was training and you are correct. He came across as really likeable. His career was blighted by injuries and unfortunate financial issues (I am referring to him missing out on US college on a technicality) but he certainly had some talent.
