🎾 ATP Washington – First Round Preview
Dan Evans vs Zizou Bergs
🏆 Dan Evans returns to the site of his 2023 title, hoping that familiarity and good vibes in D.C. will reignite his hard-court season. While his 2025 form has been shaky on hard (2–4), he looked sharp during grass season, with notable wins over Tiafoe and Kecmanovic. At 35, he leans more on tennis IQ and court craft than athleticism, but Washington could offer a crucial emotional edge.
🔥 Zizou Bergs began the year strong with deep runs in ’s-Hertogenbosch and Marseille, climbing inside the top 60. But a five-match losing streak has exposed some familiar physical concerns. Still, his 12–7 record on hard courts in 2025 includes a Round 3 showing in Miami and a solid performance at Indian Wells. This is his D.C. debut.
⚖️ Can Evans summon the ghosts of 2023 and outfox the younger Belgian? Or will Bergs snap his skid and find rhythm on a friendly surface?
