He put up a valiant effort in front of the 15,000-strong crowd.
But the Brummie could not prevent losing his 100 per cent winning record against arguably the greatest tennis player of all time.
Djokovic breezed through 6-3 6-2 6-0 in one hour 47 minutes.
Evans, though, was supported throughout the one-sided Wimbledon clash by his wife Aleah.

Aleah took her seat in the player box alongside the rest of Evans' team.
That included his coaching team and his dad who came back early from a golf trip in Wales to be there and watch the match.
Glamorous Aleah was on hand to celebrate her husbands' points - although one of his five games was completely missed by the BBC as the TV cameras bizarrely cut away to an empty studio and Henman Hill for three minutes during play.
But in truth there were slim pickings as Djokovic cruised past as Aleah and the others watched on helplessly.

Liverpool fan's family bereavement came on same day as Diogo Jota death 'TOUGH DAY' Brit Wimbledon star Neal Skupski, 35, finds out his grandmother has died just minutes after leaving court Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEAL SKUPSKI found out his beloved grandmother died minutes after his opening Wimbledon win. Britain's leading doubles star, 35, and partner Joe Salisbury fought hard to beat fellow Brits Joshua Paris and Charles Broom 6-3 5-7 6-4 in round one of the men's doubles competition.

It had already been a difficult day for Skupski, a big Liverpool fan, given the tragic death of Diogo Jota. Skupski, 2023 Wimbledon men's doubles champion, said: 'I have just found out that my nan passed today. So, it has been a very tough day. 'I found out once I came off court. About 30 minutes ago. She was 98. She was a fighter. Had been ill for a little bit of time. 'She didn't die out of the blue. I have been able to come to terms with it. She was coming to the end. It's part of life. It will be a tough few days for my family. 'We had known it was a matter of time for a few days now. It was tough to find out when I'd come off court. But I will be okay. 'She would want me to be here. She would be proud of what happened and how we fought. 'Maybe my mood has changed a bit coming up to these Championships. I'm probably quite bubbly on the practice courts, with good energy. 'Maybe the team had thought and seen I was not myself. People like my brother and coach, he spoke to some of the coaches, he maybe told them the situation. It's Wimbledon now, it's my job. 'She would have wanted me to have fought. We are here and want to win the whole thing. Being on the court will take my mind off it. Jack Draper out of Wimbledon as No4 seed is stunned by veteran former finalist Marin Cilic, 36, in shock early exit 'My nan was a massive supporter of me. I spent the most time growing up with her. She was the closest grandparent I had.' On Thursday, the All England Club announced it would relax its strict all-white rules in light of the Jota tragedy so people could wear black armbands in tribute. Skupski – who had been to the Liverpool training HQ and even played padel there – is considering donning one for his next appearance. The three-time Wimbledon doubles champion said: 'It's been a tough day for Liverpool fans. I found out this morning that Jota had passed away. 'A bit strange this morning. You're on Twitter and see a headline about Jota in Spanish. But it's along the lines of 'accident' and it's in black-and-white. 'Has he actually died?

Things come at you. You don't know what is around the corner. 'It was really tough to take. Him and his brother. A tough one for his whole family. He got married a few weeks ago. He has three kids. 'My condolences go out to his family. It must be heartbreaking for them at the moment. The more privacy they get the better. 'When I was at Liverpool, I met the whole team. Diogo was there. I spoke to some people today who are connected to Liverpool and they say, not only was he an amazing footballer, but he was so down-to-earth. 'A great finisher. But also someone who kept the whole dressing room together, making it run so smoothly. 'It will be a big loss for Liverpool. I am sure they will do something in their memory.'

HURTING Jack Draper admitted he cannot play on grass and this Wimbledon exit exposed 'many holes' in his game.

In wake of the news, Uefa confirmed that a minute's silence would be held ahead of Portugal vs Spain in the Women's Euros tonight. Jota and Silva both heralded from Portugal, with Jota representing his nation 49 times before his untimely death. During the fans' emotional tribute, Portugal boss Neto was seen with tears in his eyes. While a picture of Jota appeared on the big screen inside the stadium, alongside the words: "In memory of Diogo Jota. 1996-2025". Players appeared emotional as they stood arm in arm during the moment of remembrance. Both teams also wore black armbands for the game, which ended in a 5-0 victory for Spain. Both brothers were professional footballers, with Jota playing for Liverpool and Silva on the books at Portuguese second-tier club Penafiel. 15 Jota played 49 times for Portugal Credit: Getty 15 Diogo Jota died just days after his wedding to Rute Cardoso Credit: 15 The pair lost their lives in a tragic car accident in Zamora, Spain in a Lamborghini when the vehicle's flat tyre suddenly burst and sent the car veering off the road, police believe. Moments of silence were also held by clubs at the Club World Cup during their training sessions in the USA today, with Real Madrid, Chelsea and PSG all paying tribute to Jota and Silva. Among Real Madrid's minute's silence was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was Jota's teammate at Liverpool for five years, making almost 150 appearances together. Included in PSG's tribute was Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Joao Neves and Goncalo Ramos - all of whom played alongside Jota for the Portuguese national team. Chelsea's Pedro Neto, who played with Jota for Wolves and Portugal, did not train in the wake of his news about his friend. Jota had got married just 10 days ago to his long-term partner Rute Cardoso and the couple have three children, Dinis, Duarte, and a daughter who was born in 2024. Personal tributes have also been flooding in for the Jota, including one from Alexander-Arnold. The England right-back wrote: "Diogo, your family was your world. They were everything. "For Rute, his children, and his parents, all of our hearts are broken. And for Andre as well. Brothers and best friends. "When it's less painful, I want to remember Diogo with a big smile. So many laughs and happy moments. He was such a great teammate and a true friend. "Forever number 20. Rest in peace, Diogo." 15 Real Madrid held a minute's silence for Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva Credit: X/ realmadriden 15 Chelsea also took a moment to remember the pair Credit: Getty 15 Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold were teammates for five years, sharing the pitch in almost 150 games Credit: PA Liverpool manager Arne Slot also paid tribute to Jota, describing feelings of "shock and pain" that are "so incredibly raw". The title-winning boss added: "For us as a club, the sense of shock is absolute. Diogo was not just our player. "He was a loved one to all of us. He was a teammate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special. "I could say so much about what he brought to our team but the truth is everyone who watched Diogo play could see it. Hard work, desire, commitment, great quality, goals. The essence of what a Liverpool player should be. "There were also the parts that not everyone got to see. The person who never sought popularity but found it anyway. "Not a friend to two people, a friend to everyone. Someone who made others feel good about themselves just by being with them. A person who cared deeply for his family. "The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the Nations League and wished him luck for his forthcoming wedding. "In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it should end like this." Fellow Liverpool icons such as Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler and David James have all also paid their respects. 15 Liverpool manager Arne Slot has paid tribute to Jota Credit: AFP
