Los Cabos Open: Thanasi Kokkinakis defeats Britain’s Dan Evans

Australian tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis has beaten Britain’s Daniel Evans to advance to Mexico’s ATP Los Cabos Open quarter-finals.

Kokkinakis advances with back-to-back top-60 victories after his 6-4, 6-2 win against the world number 42 Briton.

The win, which took just over two hours, marks his second consecutive win against a British opponent. The Australian defeated world number 53 Jack Draper earlier in the week.

Kokkinakis made it to his first tour-level quarter-final since the beginning of 2023, securing a win with five aces compared to three for Evans. Evans hit three double faults during the match, while Kokkinakis had the better of the clutch moments, saving four out of the five break points against him.

The loss also marks Evans’ third loss to the Australian. In the next round, Kokkinakis will play world number six Alexander Zverev and the top seed at Los Cabos Open.
