The British number three had to retire during his quarter-final against Dustin Brown at Surbiton two weeks ago after pulling up suddenly with a calf injury.

Evans was seen on crutches at last week's tournament in Nottingham and was also forced out of the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club this week.
