Jack Draper's remarkable season reached another high on Saturday as he made it through to his first ATP 500 final at the Erste Bank Open in Vienna. The British No 1, benefiting from a month's break before the tournament, produced another brilliant performance to defeat Italy's Lorenzo Musetti 6-2 6-4 in one hour and 48 minutes.
Musetti, a Wimbledon semi-finalist this year, dropped serve again early in the second. Draper, who had won their previous two matches, came through two taxing service games but Musetti's pressure told when he levelled at 4-4. However, the momentum swung dramatically back in Draper's favour thanks to a wretched service game from Musetti. A clearly exhausted Draper took a medical time-out at 5-4 but came back out to wrap up victory and reach his first final at ATP 500 level.
