Dan Evans, who retired from Queen's Club with an injury, seems to be worried about his future. Notably, the "heartbroken" British No. 3 slipped and hurt himself in the opening round against Brandon Nakashima. The ongoing game was a major boost for the Paris Olympics, where he and his doubles partner Andy Murray were set to play together after being withdrawn from the doubles draw at Queen's Club 2024.

The 34-year-old's most recent injury blow has placed his hopes of pairing up with Andy Murray in what is likely to be the 37-year-old's last 2024 Olympic Games in jeopardy. The British player started holding his right knee right away, and the physio assessed him before he made the decision to pull out at 6-4, 3-6. Following this, Evans pulled out of the doubles, and he might be in major doubt about the Olympics and Wimbledon.

Since Murray's partner, Dan Evans injured his knee, he may not be able to take part in the Olympics in doubles. Murray has been chosen by Team GB to participate following the start of the Olympic Games in Paris on July 26. In addition to this, the 37-year-old Scot stated earlier this year that he does not intend to play much past the summer.

His remarkable win over Australian world number 48 Alexei Popyrin in the opening round at Queen's Club on Tuesday comes after he lost in the first round of both the singles and doubles at the French Open.

I’ve got to wait 48 hours, let it settle, and then get a scan: Dan Evans

"I’m heartbroken at the minute. It’s probably the worst thing you can do on the grass. [Your leg goes one way and] Your body goes one way. We have all seen that sort of motion before. You wince if you’re watching, and you hope it’s not too bad if it’s happening to you. I heard a crack in my groin, but that seemed to be okay. I think it’s MCL [the medial collateral ligament]," said Dan Evans.

“I’ve got to wait 48 hours, let it settle, and then get a scan. Yeah, I’m worried. I’m in limbo a bit," he added further.
