Evans now meets number 16 seed Petr Koukal of Czech Republic, the game is scheduled to start after 9.30 Irish time.

Sam and Chloe Magee left the stadium with mixed emotions after progressing to the last 16. The Magees were delighted after beating Evgenij Dremin and Evgenia Dimova of Russia who had won the mixed title at the White Knights event in their home country last week. Earlier in the day Chloe had lost out to Ying Chun Lin of Chines Taipei in three sets.

Sam with his brother Joshua lost to the French pairing Laurent Constantin and Matthieu Lo Ying Ping like the previous week in Canada.
