GLASGOW, Scotland — Bernard Tomic defeated Dan Evans in four sets to draw Australia level with Britain at 1-1 in their Davis Cup semifinal on Friday, after Andy Murray had put the hosts in front.
Murray brushed aside Thanasi Kokkinakis with a 6-3, 6-0, 6-3 win, but a surprise decision to pick the 300th-ranked Evans for the second match failed to deliver as Tomic came through for a 6-3, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (4), 6-4 victory.
Defeat for Evans means that Murray might now line up alongside his brother Jamie for the doubles on Saturday against Samuel Groth and Lleyton Hewitt at Glasgow's Emirates Arena.
