The Briton sustained the injury in the quarter-final of the
Surbiton Trophy on Saturday, where he was forced to retire after
leading German Dustin Brown 6-3 4-2.
"I'm really disappointed to have to withdraw from the Aegon Open
in Nottingham," Evans told the tournament's official website
(www.lta.org.uk).
"The injury I picked up at Surbiton last week needs more rest
before I can get back on court.
"This is my favorite time of the year so I'm getting treatment
and will do everything to be ready for Queen's next week. Thanks
for all the messages of support, it really means a lot."
