Dan Evans hopes to end his six-match losing streak when he takes on Gregoire Barrere in the Citi Open second round.

The British number two arrives in Washington desperately seeking a return to form, with the US Open just around the corner.

Evans had endured an inconsistent 2023, but remains 30th in the ATP rankings and has reached the semi-finals in Marrakech and Barcelona.

However, he has been unable to build on his run in the latter, losing each of his subsequent six matches – including first-round defeats at the French Open and Wimbledon.

That means Evans has now lost his opening match in 12 events this season, and he will be desperate to redress the balance as soon as possible.

But it will not be easy against a player who has already claimed a notable British scalp this season.

Indeed, Barrere has notched up some impressive results on the ATP Masters 1000 series; defeating Cameron Norrie in Miami and Karen Khachanov in Rome.

A Challenger Tour winner in Quimper, the world number 57 was a semi-finalist at Eastbourne, while he also reached the quarter-finals in Montpellier.

And the Frenchman arrives in his clash with Evans fresh from battling past Shintaro Mochizuki 6-4, 6-7(7), 6-3 in round one.

The winner of this match will play Alexander Shevchenko in the last 16 at the 2023 Citi Open.

Play gets underway at around 6.30pm BST on Wednesday and will be contested over the best of three sets on Court 4.
