Dan Evans battles through to Nottingham Challenger final

Dan Evans secures a place in the final of the Nottingham Challenger with a three-set victory over Marcel Granollers.

Dan Evans has recorded victory over Marcel Granollers to reach the final of the Nottingham Challenger.

The former British number two has impressed on the second-tier circuit since returning from a drugs ban, and the Birmingham-based player has given his world ranking a further boost with a 4-6 6-2 6-3 win over the experienced Spaniard.

The opening set was fiercely contested, but a single break of serve was enough for Granollers to establish an advantage in the last-four contest.

However, Evans responded with three breaks of his own over the next two sets, with the 28-year-old striking at 4-3 in the decider to help seal the triumph in just under two hours.

Evans - who has also received a wildcard for Queen's next week - will now play Alex de Minaur in Sunday's final.
