Wimbledon 2021: Andy Murray and Dan Evans lose in third round

Andy Murray's Wimbledon run came to an end as beating Canadian 10th seed Denis Shapovalov proved a step too far on his singles comeback.

Murray's loss came after British number one Dan Evans saw his bid to reach the last 16 for the first time ended by American prodigy Sebastian Korda.

Evans, 31, had not dropped a set in his opening two matches, but was beaten 6-3 3-6 6-3 6-4 by the SW19 debutant.

The 22nd seed came unstuck against 20-year-old Korda, who is ranked 50th in the world but looked unfazed on the big stage.

The exits of Murray and Evans leave Cameron Norrie as the last British man able to reach the second week of this year's tournament in the singles.
