From Qualifiers to Quarter-finals – TVA Sports

The massive bombshell on the occasion of the National Bank Open, in Montreal, will allow a minimum of tennis fans from here to discover a young talent: Britain’s Jack Draper.

After winning two qualifying matches, the 20-year-old reached the quarter-finals.

“I’ve worked really hard over the last year to get this position,” said Draper, who is currently ranked 82nd in the world. Although my career is still young, it is experiences like this that I need to advance. It’s great to be here in Montreal, where people love tennis.”

Although he faced Greek third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas earlier this week, Draper won the first set 6-2 over Gael Monfils on Thursday night before retiring through injury as the Frenchman advanced 2-0 in the second set. Touching the left knee, Moonves collapsed to the ground, in tears.

“Gayle is one of the guys who has inspired me since I was young and it’s hard to see him that way,” said Draper, who had a hard time celebrating his win in full. I wish him the best and hope he comes back to the US Open.”

Tsitsipas’ loss to Draper late Wednesday night surely upset the plans for the evening program in Center Court. Paying top dollar to watch Draper certainly wasn’t what many fans wanted when buying tickets for Thursday night’s session. Nothing more than watching desertion.

However, Sutton’s home country, England, is perhaps one of the rising tennis stars. Earlier this year, he notably defeated two of the world’s top 15 players at home, American Taylor Fritz, in the first round in London, and then Argentine Diego Schwartzman, in the second round in Eastbourne.

In the next round, Draper will have a date with the Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta, who is ranked 23 in the world, the winner of the duel between him and the Italian Yannick Sener, ranked seventh, on Thursday evening.
