The strangest greeting of the year, by Evans and Brooksby: "Good match? Not for me"

Carlos Navarro - 26 Jun 2025
Daniel Evans.

It had been a while since we last saw Daniel Evans, temperamental and someone who rarely keeps his opinions to himself, involved in some minor skirmish. Today he lost in the quarterfinals of the ATP Eastbourne 2025 to Jenson Brooksby and gave us one of the strangest greetings or behaviors on the court of the year. The American greeted him with a formal "Good game"... but Evans, of course, had lost 2-6 and 3-6, so, after a few seconds of pause, he decided to take it out on the American. "What did you say?", Dan retorted, not holding back after Jenson repeated the expression to him. "Oh yeah? Good game? It wasn't for me", a frustrated Evans pointed out, continuing to lash out at his opponent as he walked off the court.
