Andy Murray column on Dan Evans, injury worries and inspiring the next generation

I'm really happy and excited for Dan Evans, who is getting closer and closer to the top of the game.

I've known him a long time. I first met him when we played a Davis Cup tie probably nine, 10 years ago. You spend a week together in the build-up and since then I've seen him a lot at various events.

He used to have a reputation of maybe not working that hard but every time I have been on the court with him, he has been fantastic.

He's a natural competitor. Once you get him on the match court, he always tries his best and gives his best effort and I really respect that.
