Evans was part of the team that secured Britain’s first Davis Cup title in 79 years in 2015 and also won two ATP Tour-level titles.

“I think what some people have forgotten is I’m a professional tennis player and I wouldn’t be playing if I wasn’t prepared or ready to play or fit to play,” Evans said.

“I don’t feel like I’ve been taken seriously.”

Tatjana Maria, who won the women’s Queen’s title in 2025, also did not get a wildcard for the main draw and had to come through qualifying.

The wildcards for this year’s Wimbledon will be announced on Tuesday, with Evans waiting to see if he will receive one.

The All England Club can offer up to eight wildcards for the men’s singles main draw.

Evans, who has reached the Wimbledon third round on three occasions, is already assured of a place in qualifying based on his ranking.

But the Wimbledon committee – which offers wildcards based on past performances or to increase British interest – could elevate him into the main draw.

“If they give me one or not, it’s not up to me,” Evans added.

“I feel I’ve done plenty of time of helping British tennis, off the court, and on the court, so I hope to get one.”
