Australian Open: Dan Evans plays Felix Auger-Aliassime in Melbourne

Dan Evans will bid to match his best run at the Australian Open when he plays Canadian ninth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in round three on Saturday.

Evans, seeded 24th, is Britain's last remaining player in the singles and faces Auger-Aliassime in Melbourne at about 06:00 GMT.

The British number two reached the last 16 once before in 2017.

Evans, 31, received a walkover into the third round after France's Arthur Rinderknech withdrew through injury.

In the first round, Evans beat Belgium's David Goffin in straight sets.

Evans is looking to continue a fine start to the 2022 season, where he won his opening five matches after three victories at the ATP Cup and a run to the Sydney semi-finals.
