Draper battles past Popyrin to reach quarter-finals at Queen's Club

2 weeks ago 3

Jack Draper was given a stern test of his grasscourt title credentials with a tough three-set victory against Alexei Popyrin on a baking hot day at Queen's Club.

The second seed at the ATP 500 event in west London lost the opening set before digging deep to seal a 3-6 6-2 7-6 (7-5) success on the Andy Murray Arena.

Draper could next face an all-British showdown against 35-year-old Dan Evans, ranked world No 199, who is taking on Brandon Nakashima for a place in the last eight of the HSBC Championship.
