Australian Open 2023: Dan Evans beaten by Andrey Rublev in third round

Britain's Dan Evans was overpowered by Andrey Rublev in the third round of the Australian Open on Saturday.

Russia's Rublev will face Danish teenager and ninth seed Holger Rune as he bids to reach the Melbourne quarter-finals for the first time.

Evans' defeat leaves Andy Murray as the only British player left in either singles draw.

Murray faces Spanish 24th seed Roberto Bautista Agut from 08:00 GMT on Saturday.

"Andrey was too good. He played some good tennis," said 32-year-old Evans, who was seeded 25th.

"I didn't feel I did too much wrong. I had a little chance in the first when I had break point, but I didn't take it.
