Norrie sees off fellow Briton Jacob Fearnley 6-3, 7-6, 6-2
A few days on from his unforgettable late-night escape against the oldest player inside the men’s top 100, Jack Draper found himself up against the youngest of them all. From the unparalleled defensive capabilities of the 38-year-old Gaël Monfils, Draper examined the 18-year-old João Fonseca’s nuclear forehand.
No matter the challenge or conditions, Draper continues to show his ability to adapt to all obstacles in his path. He eased into the fourth round of the French Open for the first time in his career with an utterly devastating performance, by far his best of the tournament so far, dismantling Fonseca 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.
