Nobody could have ever reproached Daniel Evans for resigning from competing in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, considering several factors. One of them is that clay courts are not a suitable surface for him, and his performance clearly decreases. Nonetheless, what is most noteworthy is that just this week, he was defending the 500 points earned last year in Washington, so it was logical to try to defend them. The Briton decided to go to Paris and compete alongside Andy Murray in doubles, knowing he would lose those points and his ranking would drop from 58th to 169th in the world, putting him in a dramatic situation to participate in Masters 1000 and Grand Slams in the coming months.
