Mail online - "Dan Evans claims biggest victory of his career against Aussie Open No 7 seed Marin Cilic... and he did it in a £13 t-shirt after being dropped by Nike" ...... Metro - "Final agony for Dan Evans and Jamie Murray as they fall at the last hurdle in Sydney" I could post many more but in summary, almost all newspapers and sports commentators use DAN whereas the formal tennis associations use DANIEL. Andy Murray referring to him as DAN. It is no recent change as there is a Hindustan Times entry from 2011 using DAN - "Argentina substitute Leonardo Mayer ended Britain’s reign as Davis Cup champions with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 win over Dan Evans in the fifth rubber". ........ Personally I think it will change to DAN within a year anyway as that is the name everyone is using (apart from the official tennis associations), so why not change now.
