Dan Evans reaches the main draw of the Glasgow Challenger and earns an ATP ranking in the process as he continues his return from a year-long suspension.

Former British number two Dan Evans is through to the main draw of the Glasgow Challenger courtesy of a 6-4 6-1 victory against Sam Barry.

The 27-year-old made it two wins from two on his return from a 12-month ban after testing positive for cocaine, having already overcome Ed Corrie on Saturday.

As well as making it through to the tournament proper, Evans has also earned himself an ATP ranking as he attempts to reach his previous best of 41st in the world.

Evans soon took control of the match at Scotstoun Leisure Centre after sharing the first eight games, eventually breaking his opponent to lead 5-4 and then taking the opener.

Just one further game was dropped en route to a straight-sets victory against an opponent ranked 488 in the world.
