Dan Evans blasts US Open schedule after loss to Roger Federer
Dan Evans complained about the US Open scheduling on Friday. Evans did not have any day off before the match against Roger Federer as his second round against Lucas Pouille on Wednesday was postponed until Thursday due to rain.
The Brit said: "He was too good. Obviously, I didn't play my best today, but he got on top of me early and it was difficult. I mean, I guess he has every shot, so it's not ideal to have an opponent that has every shot. I was fatigued, as well. Yeah. I thought it was pretty tough I was first up after playing yesterday if I'm being brutally honest. Yeah, so it was a bit disappointing. He was totally fresh and me, you know, battling yesterday, didn't get out of here until probably going on 6:00, just complete polar opposites, isn't it? And that is just to try and beat him feeling tired, stiff, playing four sets yesterday, it's near on impossible. But I actually thought he played pretty much, you know, no-error tennis, I thought. It was an honor to play on Ashe. It's an amazing court. Yeah, but it was tough, like -- yeah. I could feel from the get-go that I was a bit slow. Everything was a bit slower. You know, it's another good experience at a slam, and, you know, that court is truly an amazing court."
