Great Britain's Jack Draper, September 13, 2024

JACK DRAPER crashed out at the last-16 stage of the Monte-Carlo Masters today following a three-set defeat to Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

Fifth seed Draper, who dispatched Marcos Giron in a comfortable 6-1 6-1 victory on Tuesday, struggled with his serve in the Principality, accounting for 10 double faults during the 6-3 6-7 (6) 6-4 loss.

“Today I didn’t feel at my best or at my best mentally with my strategy,” Davidovich Fokina said on court after the win, in which he made 57 unforced errors to his opponent’s 46.
