After being dropped from last week's Davis Cup, Evans was eager to prove himself and has taken full advantage of his lucky loser spot at this weeks Zagreb Indoors.
After losing in the final round of qualifying to Bjorn Phau, Evans was reinstated into the tournament after Radek Stepanek withdrew from injury.
Evans made the most of his lucky break, defeating Jan Hajek in his first round match before overcoming Michael Berrer in a third set tie-break in the next.
His quarter-final upset of Philipp Kohlschreiber is one of the finest results in his career so far and sets him up on a semi-final date with the 35-year-old veteran, Tommy Haas.
Evans successfully overcame Kohlschreiber in three sets, winning 6-4 2-6 6-4 and the victory will see him rise as high as 124th in the rankings.
In the other semi-final Marin Cilic will take on qualifier Bjorn Phau as both completed easy two set victories to progress.
