Rinky Hijikata vs Dan Evans prediction

Dan Evans will feature in one of the ties of the first round when he meets Rinky Hijikata.

The 35-year-old is heading in the wrong direction in the rankings at present and has slipped outside the top 200, so a good run on the turf is high on his agenda. 

The Brit battled his way through qualifying and has a rich history on grass given his love to attack the net off low slice as well as the regular use of serve and volley tactics. 

However, Hijikata is also a slick mover on the surface and already has matches under his belt on the turf having reached the last four in the Birmingham Challenger last week. 

The 24-year-old is ranked at 75 and will feel he has more speed and confidence than Evans right now, who will need a good start to have a chance.
