A few days ago Daniel Evans was the first opponent in Roger Federer's comeback in Doha in the focus of the tennis world, today, Friday, the Briton will compete in Miami in the first Masters 1000 tournament of the year. The task for Evans, who, like all seeded players, started with a bye, is straightforward: with Frances Tiafoe, a local hero is waiting.
As in practically all tournaments on the tennis tour after the Corona break, the players in Miami are also grouped together in a bubble. What causes frustration and slight motivation problems for some colleagues is not a problem for Evans.
Evans happy to play again
"I mean, it's not that hard to be in a bubble," Evans told ATP Tennis TV. “We know that far too many other things are happening in the world right now. Some of us tennis players have a tendency to whine. But I can't sit here and complain about life in a bubble. "
All tennis players would have a job and would have the opportunity to pursue it. Despite all the restrictions, it's also fun to play tournaments again. “During the lockdown in England it was uncomfortable because we couldn't work for weeks. So it's good that we can do what we all enjoy again. "
