Dan Evans

Evans was the most talented British player of his generation who wasn't called Andy Murray. A 2017 drugs ban cost him a year, but he came back and climbed to a career-high No. 21 in 2023. He won two tour titles, the 2021 Murray River Open in Melbourne and the 2023 Citi Open in Washington, with a game built on touch and that backhand slice. He announced his retirement in June 2026 and played his last match in the Wimbledon doubles. Watch his Murray River Open final against Félix Auger-Aliassime to see how much a slice can do to a power player.
