Draper Advances to Quarter-Finals of the Japan Open.

British number one Jack Draper moved on to the quarter-finals of the Japan Open after defeating second seed Hubert Hurkacz in straight sets.

The unseeded 22-year-old Jack Draper, fresh off a remarkable run to the US Open semi-finals earlier this month, continued his impressive form by defeating the second seed Hubert Hurkacz in Tokyo. 

In a match that lasted 84 minutes, Draper triumphed with a score of 6-2, 6-4.

Draper capitalized on two of his seven break point opportunities while also successfully saving three of his own, showcasing his resilience on the court. 

This victory marks Draper's third win against a top-10 opponent in 2024, setting a personal record for the most such wins in a single season. 

As he moves forward in the tournament, Draper's confidence and skill are certainly on display!
