BRITISH number one Jack Draper celebrated his second ATP title following a tense straight-sets victory over Karen Khachanov in the final of The Vienna Open.
The 22-year-old, playing in his second competition since reaching the US Open semi-finals, won 6-4 7-5 against the Russian world number 24 in Vienna.
