Jack Draper continued his Wimbledon preparations with a battling victory over American Marcos Giron to book his place in the quarter-finals of the Stuttgart Open. Draper, who is threatening Cameron Norrie's mantle of British men's No 1, missed the entire grass-court season last year because of injury.
'I thought I played a really good first set and then he came back really strong,' Draper said after his win. 'I had a little blip in concentration, but then came out in the third set really strong and was really happy with the way I was able to come through the match. 'He beat Andy Murray yesterday, who is obviously an incredible player and I knew he had such a high level.
