Dan Evans wins first ATP title, Rafael Nadal injury latest

British number one Dan Evans won the first ATP title of his career by beating Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Murray River Open final.

Evans, 30, had lost the two previous finals of his 15-year professional career, but looked confident and in control throughout to win 6-2 6-3.

Auger-Aliassime, 20, has now lost all seven finals he has played in.

After winning the warm-up event in Melbourne, Evans turns his attentions to this week's Australian Open.

The 30th seed will play fellow Briton Cameron Norrie in the first round on Tuesday.

"Of course I wanted to win a title, but today was just another match - I approached it in that way," said Evans after beating Auger-Aliassime.
