Draper beat Brooksby 6-3 6-1 while Harris lost to Diallo 1-6 6-3 4-6.
Interestingly, coming off winning Stuttgart, Fritz fell at the first hurdle at Queens to Moutet yesterday. In fact, every seed in Draper’s half of the draw is already out.
Live ranking points put Fritz at 4635, Djokovic at 4630 and Draper at 4500. Winning in round 2 would add 50pts to Draper’s total and winning the following quarter final would add 100pts, so the equation is simple:
- Draper beats Popyrin and Evans/Nakashima, he’ll be no. 4 seed at Wimbledon - Draper fails to win the next two games, he’ll be no. 6 seed at Wimbledon
Katie Boulter does a good professional job of taking a very competitive first set against Sonay Kartal but then can't get a ball into court for 5 and a half games of the 2nd set Is looking down the barrel of a very swift Kartal equaliser. When KB's level drops it goes off the edge of a cliff, weird.

Potential for a Draper v Fearnley semi final if both were to win tomorrow.
Order of play
Lehecka v Fearnley
Nakashima v Draper [2]
Alcaraz [1] v Rinderknech
Rune [4] v Bautista Agut
Apart from the breaks between sessions, which I enjoy too as I learn a lot, I have schedule conflict today with the first test against India
If draper gets through he will become a top 4 seed in the world heading into Wimbledon.
Will play the winners of Stevenson and Willis v Helioevaara and Patten.
Lehecka v Draper [2] followed by
Alcaraz [1] v Bautista Agut
