“I managed to hang in there in the second set, I played well in the tie-break and hung tough in the third set again. I loved the atmosphere, it’s just great to be back in Glasgow. I knew what I had to do, I had to come out and get a win for the team and I managed to do that,” added the British No.1

Meanwhile, Evans revealed that he that he "probably lost the match in the first set" and had an uphill battle against an opponent he credited for the win.
“It was a good match. I probably lost the match in the first set. Very slow court. It took a lot to get used to the balls. All credit to Tommy. I thought he served well when I had my chances. It’s a tough one. But another good effort I guess. That’s Davis Cup, isn’t it?" said Evans.
