Evans has certainly played well in previous fights, but facing Carreno Busta is a different story. Pablo is on fire at the moment. For him, there is no authority. Matteo Berrettini and Jannik Sinner have already experienced what a motivated Pablo is. Dan is much weaker than these two. It’s likely that Daniel won’t be able to stop Pablo either.
Evans is unlikely to be able to resist Pablo. Carreno Busta is in the kind of form that allows him to beat his opponents with ease. It’s likely that he won’t have any problems with Daniel.
Carreno Busta reached the semi-finals at the Masters level for the third time in his career. There is no doubt that he is having his best tournament of the season.
Pablo has not given up a single set so far this week. The joke about being inhabited by Novak Djokovic isn’t quite a joke anymore.

As with Carreno-Busta, no one was expecting Evans in the top four either. Dan beat Filip Krajinovic (6-2, 1-6, 6-0) in the first round and then the fun began.
In the second and third rounds, he defeated Andrey Rublev (6-4, 6-4) and Taylor Fritz (7-6, 1-6, 7-5), respectively.
In the quarter-finals, Evans faced Tommy Paul (1-6, 6-3, 6-4), who had beaten Carlos Alcaraz early in the tournament. After the first set, which Taylor took with a score of 6-1, many must have had time to think that the tournament for Dan s over. However, nothing of the sort. Danclassily played the next two sets without giving up a single game on his serve.
