The 32-year-old is ranked 33 in the world, eight places above Kecmanovic.

Meanwhile, Nick Kyrgios came back from a set down to defeat Poland’s Kamil Majchrzak.

The Serb then missed a match point of his own at 6-5, before winning the final four points of the tie-break to take a 6-3 3-6 7-6 (7-4) win.

Evans also went out of the doubles in the quarter-final alongside Australian partner John Peers, losing 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 10-6 to Mackenzie McDonald, of the USA, and Brazilian Marcelo Melo.
