Mixed fortunes for Dan Evans, Kyle Edmund at Nottingham Open

Mixed fortunes for British pair in Nottingham

Dan Evans has overturned a one-set deficit to record an impressive win over Ricardis Berankis in the second round of the Nottingham Open.

Since the start of the grass-court season, Evans has struggled for wins but he found a way to see off 16th seed Berankis after dropping the opening set after having his serve broken twice by the Lithuanian.

After taking the second on a tie-break, Evans stormed through the decider to come through by a 2-6 7-6 6-2 scoreline.

However, there was disappointment for Kyle Edmund who went down 6-4 7-6 to fourth seed Alexandr Dolgopolov.

The British number three failed to create a break point as he was comfortably defeated by the world number 32.
