MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Britain’s Dan Evans progressed to the third round of the Australian Open on a walkover on Thursday following the withdrawal of Arthur Rinderknech.
The Frenchman pulled out prior to the second round clash with a wrist injury and Evans, the 24th seed, will face either Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina or Felix Auger-Aliassime in the next round.
