Evans, banned after testing positive for cocaine last year, has been given a wildcard for the qualification stage of the tournament at Scotstoun, due to start on Saturday (April 28), by the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA).

The 27-year-old's is free to return to the sport from today after his suspension expired.

Evans, a member of the British team which won the Davis Cup in 2015, revealed he had failed for the recreational substance in June.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) decided a one-year suspension was sufficient after ruling the player bears "no significant fault or negligence" for the anti-doping violation.

It came after Evans provided an explanation as to how the cocaine, which is on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list, entered his system.

The ITF agreed with Evans' claim that he unknowingly ingested the amount of the drug which caused the positive test.

"I have learned a lot about myself in my time away from the game, a sport that I love very dearly," Evans said.

"I am now committed to training hard, resuming my career and getting back to where I was, although appreciate this will take time.

"If there is a lesson to be learned here it's that it is every athlete's responsibility for what they put into their bodies."

The LTA gave Evans a wildcard after confirming he had passed "agreed checks".

"The LTA condemns any form of doping, which has no place in our sport," LTA performance director Simon Timson said.

"We have been having regular contact with Dan and he has shown genuine commitment to getting his tennis career back on track.

"Dan has reflected on his experience over the last year, and has begun to support the development of the LTA's anti-doping education materials to help emerging young players avoid similar mistakes.

"Our continued support will be entirely dependent on a non-negotiable commitment to ongoing monitoring."
