Britain's Dan Evans expects to be fit enough to play Wimbledon after overcoming a knee injury caused by slipping at Queen's.

The 34-year-old was left in tears after falling at the back of the court in his first-round match against Brandon Nakashima on 18 June.

He initially feared the problem could rule him out of his home Grand Slam - and possibly stop him representing Great Britain in an Olympics for the first time.

However, he sought a second opinion from a knee specialist last week, who diagnosed a "bad strain".

"The scan was showing a lot worse than it was but the test of my muscle, the structure of my knee was all good," Evans said.

"With some good and hard rehab, getting it and around it strong. Its getting there."

Evans has been drawn against Argentine 24th seed Alejandro Tabilo in the first round, which will take place on Tuesday.

The world number 61 returned to practice on Wednesday, just eight days after suffering the injury.

Over the weekend, Evans plans to ramp up his court time and does not foresee any issues stopping him facing Tabilo.

"My knee is in a good stable structure," said Evans, who has spent "a lot of time" in the gym and swimming pool to regain fitness.

"There is no risk of aggravating it, unless I slipped again. That would be a bit of an issue.

"But I've been assured by the knee specialist there is no real risk of hurting it again I trust his take on it."

Wimbledon begins on Monday and runs until 14 July.
