NEW YORK -- Britains Daniel Evans secured one of the biggest wins of his career by seeing off Germanys rising star Alexander Zverev in four sets to reach the third round of the US Open.The 26-year-old matched his best run at a Grand Slam with the 6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 victory over the teenager, who is ranked 28th and considered one of the brightest prospects in the game.Having progressed to the same stage here in 2013 and at Wimbledon earlier this summer, Evans sealed just his third win against a top-30 opponent and will now meet Stan Wawrinka, the two-time Grand Slam champion.Hopefully that wont be on Court 4, Evans said with a smile..Its going to be good fun. Obviously a bit like Wimbledon, had a good win and then played [Roger] Federer. It will be on a good court. Look forward to it. Never hit with him, never played against him. Its going to be interesting.I played pretty well tonight. But hes a big step up in class. Ive got to go out there, just like Wimbledon, believe I can win. But Im pretty realistic about it. Im nowhere near favourite to win that match.Evans victory ensured Britain will have three men in the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time in 48 years, with Andy Murray and Kyle Edmund also through.Everyones doing pretty well at the minute, added Evans. It could easily have been different. Kyle played [Richard] Gasquet. I played [Rajeev] Ram. We both could lose those matches. Would have sat here with only Andy again.It just happens in certain tournaments, doesnt it, where you get through. Other tournaments, none get through. Like this week, theres a feel-good factor. Me and Kedders ?[Kyle Edmund] have got tough matches now. See what we can do.As his breakthrough year continues, Evans is now projected to rise up in the rankings near the top 50.To be in the Masters is where the good points are, he added. Hopefully main draw of Paris at the end of the year, that was a small goal once I got through against Ram.?A few more matches here hopefully. Still got doubles, as well. Im enjoying it. Hopefully not here just before Davis Cup so I get to go on holiday! No, it would be a good problem.Britains Naomi Broady gave world No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska a scare but was left to rue four missed set points in their second-round clash at the US Open.Having led 5-2 in the opening set, Broady was eventually beaten 7-6 (9), 6-3 on Louis Armstrong Stadium after rain delayed the start of the match until 6 p.m.Radwanska quipped that having to overcome Broady was much worse than the weather delay.Im so pleased I could come back in the first set, said the Pole. That was the key set. It was a lot of trouble, running, struggling, but two sets for me.She was serving unbelievable -- 120 [miles per hour] serves are not easy to get. Every break was huge, then I tried to focus on my serve which also was not easy. I was just a couple of points better today.Broady, who has climbed to 82 in the world, was playing in the second round of a major for just the second time.
