Dan Evans bows out to Kei Nishikori in Indian Wells

British number two Dan Evans is out of the Indian Wells Masters after losing in straight sets to Kei Nishikori.

Dan Evans has suffered a straight-sets defeat to Kei Nishikori in the second round of the Indian Wells Masters.

The British number two holds a win over Nishikori on American soil after beating him at the 2013 US Open, but the fourth seed was too strong on Sunday night.

Evans secured a break of serve during the opening game of the match, but Nishikori immediately hit back and was able to break for a second time to claim the set.

The Birmingham-based player stuck with his opponent during the second, but he was unable to keep Nishikori at bay on his second serve and he eventually succumbed to a 6-3 6-4 defeat.

Evans will now try to have a good run at the Miami Masters, which is the next event on the ATP calendar.
