Dan Evans kept his cool through an umpiring controversy to race past Jeremy Chardy and into the third round of the Australian Open 2023.
Evans had battled for three and a half hours to get past Facundo Bagnis in extreme heat in the first round but needed less than two hours to wrap up a 6-4 6-4 6-1 victory over 35-year-old Chardy in much cooler conditions.
