Bernard Tomic's conqueror, Dan Evans, has accepted a sporting locker-room gesture from the Australian's father and coach, John, while criticising the behaviour of others in the Tomic entourage during Friday night's third round match on Hisense Arena.

John Tomic had once deemed Evans too inferior as a player to practice with his son, but the world No.51 said extending his career head-to-head advantage to 2-1 had not necessarily been sweeter as a consequence.

"(John Tomic) came to the changing room after and said 'well done'. It was nice of him. I didn't have a problem with him at all, to be honest. It was his opinion, yeah," Evans said.

"I just don't think (others in Team Tomic) conducted themselves that well. John was fine, but the rest of his team acted like complete idiots in the box, screaming at me when I was getting my towel. That's why I was upset on the match court.
