Jack Draper marks his first Wimbledon match as British men's number one with a five-set win under the Centre Court lights.
Jack Draper marked his first Wimbledon match as British men's number one by evoking memories of Andy Murray with a five-set success under the Centre Court lights.
In round two, he will face Cameron Norrie - the player he deposed as Britain's leading man last month. The 22-year-old from Scotland, playing in his first Grand Slam match, battled to 6-4 7-6 victory over Spanish qualifier Alejandro Moro Canas., who was also a doubt for the tournament with a knee injury, trailed 6-2 3-3 against Chilean 24th seed Alejandro Tabilo when play was stopped because of bad light.At the start of his career, Murray emerged to pick up the baton from Tim Henman as Britain's leading men's player - and carry the nation's hopes at Wimbledon.
