Dan Evans, the former British No. 1, has made it clear that the All England Club's decision to deny him a singles wildcard for Wimbledon has not dampened his spirits. Instead, he is determined to focus on the qualifying rounds. Evans, who will retire after Wimbledon, was notably disappointed that the wildcards went to younger British players Felix Gill and Harry Wendelken. He stated, 'I play tennis for myself,' emphasizing that his motivation remains intact despite the setback. Evans is now gearing up for the qualifying rounds, where he hopes to secure a spot in the main draw and make a final statement in his professional career at Wimbledon.
