    Dan Evans will face Stefanos Tsitsipas in semis of Dubai Tennis Championships

    Dan Evans will face Greek second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last four of the Dubai Tennis Championships.
    The 29-year-old British number one beat Russian sixth seed Andrey Rublev in straight sets - 6-2 7-6 (11-9) - to reach the fourth ATP semi-final of his career.
    Tsitsipas, 21, set up a first encounter against Evans with a 4-6 6-4 6-4 victory over German Jan-Lennard Struff.
    "Semi-finals in any tournament on the ATP Tour is great," Evans said.
    "It doesn't matter who it's against. Everyone is so good here."


    Serbia's world number one Novak Djokovic will play Russia's Karen Khachanov in the third quarter-final, while French compatriots Gael Monfils and Richard Gasquet contest the final last-eight tie.
    Evans' confidence will be building after his most convincing display in Dubai to date.
    He came from a set down to beat Italian fourth seed Fabio Fognini in the opening round then edged out France's Pierre-Hugues Herbert following a third-set tie-break to reach the last eight.
    Rublev proved an equally tough opponent, and unseeded world number 37 Evans said he was relieved to wrap up the victory in two sets.
