Dan Evans has said he is unsurprised by the demise of the Davis Cup’s partnership with Kosmos, the investment group run by Gerard Piqué, noting that the large sums of prize money offered to players and federations were unsustainable.

“It is disappointing that they can’t keep filling our pockets! It was a matter of time, wasn’t it? We were getting paid a little too much for not a lot, I guess. But you get it while you can,” said Evans.
