Dan Evans vs Pablo Carreno Busta preview
Pablo Carreno Busta will take on Dan Evans in the semifinals of the Canadian Open on Saturday.
Carreno Busta has won 26 out of 43 matches so far this season, with his best result being the runner-up finish at the Barcelona Open, where he lost to Carlos Alcaraz.
He started the Canadian Open with a shock 6-3, 6-2 win over Matteo Berrettini in the opening round and followed it up with a 6-0, 6-3 thrashing of Holger Rune.
The 31-year-old then stunned tenth seed Jannik Sinner 6-2, 6-4 to seal his place in the quarterfinals, where he defeated Jack Draper 7-6(4), 6-1 to reach the semifinals.
Evans had a tough start to the tournament, beating Filip Krajinovic 6-2, 1-6, 6-0 in a hard-fought contest. The Brit then scripted one of the upsets of the competition by defeating fifth seed Andrey Rublev 6-4, 6-4 before triumphing 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-5 over tenth seed Taylor Fritz to reach the quarterfinals.
Here, he came back from a set down to defeat Tommy Paul 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 and reach his maiden Masters 1000 semifinal on hardcourts.

Dan Evans vs Pablo Carreno Busta prediction
Carreno Busta has been outstanding at the Canadian Open so far and will enter the match as the favorite to win. However, Evans should not be written off as he has beaten pretty good players like Andrey Rublev and Taylor Fritz to reach the semifinals.
Both players adopt a slightly cautious style of play and love to wear down their opponents by prolonging rallies. Carreno Busta's groundstrokes are relatively more powerful and he could trouble Evans from the baseline.
The Brit will look to disrupt the pace of points using his slices. He is a decent server but will have to try to lower his double-fault count, having served ten of those in his last two matches.
In the end, it may come down to whichever player remains more composed on the court. Evans has been outstanding in Montreal but given Carreno Busta's current form, the Spaniard will most probably get the win and reach his maiden Masters 1000 final.
Pick: Carreno Busta to win in straight sets.
