Britons Draper, Evans Advance In Madrid

Daniel Evans joined his countryman in the second round after a 6-3, 6-4 win over Federico Delbonis as he looks to kickstart his clay swing.

"I think all of it was pretty good," Evans said of his performance against the Argentine, who reached the last 16 as a qualifier last year in Madrid. "I played pretty well throughout the match. I served well, I mixed it up well.

"I've played well this year on clay," he added, "just haven't got my head in front really."

New Conversion and Steal Insights from Tennis Data Innovations reveal how Evans won the match despite Delbonis being the more aggressive player. The left hander won the Balance of Power decisively, hitting from an attacking position 31 per cent of the time to Evans' 20 per cent.

Daniel Evans also advanced, edging past Spaniard Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(2) after two hours and 58 minutes. The Briton will play sixth seed Andrey Rublev in the last 16, with the pair locked at 2-2 in their ATP Head2Head series.

Evans scampered around the baseline throughout and produced a strong ‘Steal score’, a new metric that reflects how often a player wins a point from a defensive position. The 31-year-old 'stole’ 47 points when defending, using his backhand slice to good effect. (Learn more about Conversion & Steal scores.)

Brits Evans & Norrie Clinch Opening Victories

Spoiler:

Evans captures first win at Roland Garros

Cameron Norrie and Daniel Evans ensured it was double delight for Great Britain on Monday at Roland Garros, with the pair reaching the second round in Paris.

The 10th seed Norrie arrived in the French capital in high spirits after capturing his maiden tour-level title on clay in Lyon on Saturday. After making the short journey north, he showed little sign of tiredness, dispatching French wild card Manuel Guinard 7-5, 6-2, 6-0.

The 26-year-old is making his fifth appearance at the second major of the season, with his best result a run to the third round last year. Following his two-hour, 19-minute win, Norrie, currently 11th in the Pepperstone ATP Race To Turin, will next play Jason Kubler after the Australian qualifier downed Denis Kudla 7-6(5), 7-6(2), 7-6(3).

Evans celebrated his 32nd birthday by claiming a first win in Paris on his fifth attempt, defeating Miami semi-finalist Francisco Cerundolo 7-6(3), 6-4, 6-4.

The 29th seed has struggled to produce his best level in the French capital in the past, but ensured he would not suffer more disappointment against the Argentine with a consistent display. Evans committed just 27 unforced errors compared to Cerundolo’s 48 to advance after two hours and 45 minutes.

The Briton, who reached the third round in Madrid in May, will meet Swede Mikael Ymer or Australian James Duckworth in the second round.
