Dan Evans, speaking to Sky Sports: “I have been sore really that’s all. I slept a bit during the day today and I was just really tired but since that match I recovered really well. I did a hit yesterday and focused on getting ready for today. The gameplan was not very physical so that really helped and I got through.”

On coming to the net so frequently: “It forced me to do just that. Really focused me. It’s been a strange 48 hours and I don’t know why but I felt a bit more extra pressure to win. I didn’t want to win that match and then lose this one. It wouldn’t have felt right. I really focused hard.”

On the how playing in the longest US Open match in history affected him: “It was a strange 48 hours. Everyone was congratulating me which was a almost a bit embarrassing. I am proud of it, but I just wanted to get through. That meant everything to get through this round and thanks to my physio basically. I have been in and out the ice bath to get myself going. I will probably have hit tomorrow and hopefully recover well.”
