British tennis player Dan Evans has played the final singles match of his career, after losing in the second round of Wimbledon qualifying.After a 7-5, 6-0 defeat to 25-year-old Australian Tristan Schoolkate, Evans, 36, said in a news conference that he knew a wild card entrance into the main draw was not coming his way long before the decision was made public.“Listen, I knew the wild card wasn’t coming long before,” he said. “I know a lot of the people in tennis have big titles, and in that building (referring to the All England Club) over there. I’ve grown up around clubs (so) I can read people.“When they don’t say hello to you and certain things, you have a fair idea. They keep their distance. I’m not the only one either. I knew it wasn’t coming. And you know what I actually really enjoyed that court and without the wild card I wouldn’t have got a chance, so they actually helped me have a better experience than I thought I was going to have.“It was amazing and great fans out there and hopefully some Brits are on that court tomorrow and qualify.”The All England Club did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story. The Lawn Tennis Association, which runs British tennis, directed the request toward the club.On its website, Wimbledon describes its wild card system as for “players whose world ranking is not high enough to qualify automatically for The Championships but who are accepted into the main Championships draw at the discretion of the Committee.
