BRITISH tennis star Dan Evans has admitted he is not looking forward to playing at Wimbledon this year.
The 33-year-old was beaten in the first round at the Queen’s Club by Sebastian Korda 6-4 7-5.
Dan Evans is in poor form coming into Wimbledon
It means he has now lost six of his last seven matches, picking up just one set in his defeats.
Evans has slammed his own form as “embarrassing” and recently split with coach Sebastian Prieto.
With Wimbledon kicking-off on June 3, the world No25 is dreading it.
He said on his dip in form: “It’s a difficult question and the answer is just as hard, I guess. It’s just to keep going, working hard.
“Yeah, I don’t know. There is no magic formula in this game to get the wins.
“I have to compete hard, a bit harder than I did today, and be better mentally.
“But it’s becoming difficult to do that with the amount of losses. It’s frustrating and also a little bit embarrassing.
“So there’s a lot of emotion in that. It’s hard to see what I can do next.”
Asked if he was excited for Wimbledon, Evans replied: “I’m not looking forward to playing any tennis at the minute. It’s tough.
“When your game and you feel no confidence, it’s not a good spot to be in and it’s a difficult spot.
“I’d love to say I’m looking forward to playing my next match but I’m not. That’s the honest truth for you.”
Evans has never gone beyond the third round at SW19, losing at that stage on three occasions.
British hopes again fall on Andy Murray‘s shoulders after he won both the Surbiton and Nottingham titles in the build-up to the third Grand Slam of the year.
He is on a ten-match winning run and faces Alex de Minaur at Queen’s this afternoon.
