Britain’s Dan Evans made a winning return from a drugs ban with victory in round one of qualifying for next week’s ATP Challenger Tour event in Glasgow.

The 27-year-old, who was suspended for 12 months after testing positive for cocaine last April, beat compatriot Ed Corrie 6-3 7-6 (8-6).

He saved a set point in the second-set tie-break before closing out victory.

The former British number two will re-enter the world rankings if he beats Ireland’s Sam’s Barry on Sunday.

Evans was given a wildcard for the qualifiers by the Lawn Tennis Association.
