British No 1 loses 6-3, 7-6 (3) to world No 20 in BercyWawrinka hails ‘one of my best matches’ against EvansWhen Stan Wawrinka is on form, even the best players struggle to stay with him, as he showed in his whirlwind drubbing of Andy Murray in the first round of the
French Open in September. To a lesser degree, Dan Evans was reminded of Wawrinka’s pedigree across town in Bercy on Tuesday, for the fifth time in their rivalry, although the
British No 1 did not leave meekly in the last match of his best season. He survived almost as long in two sets on a hard court as Murray did on the clay of Roland Garros in three.
