Jack Draper carries the flag for Great Britain at the Winston-Salem Open where the up-and-coming star has reached the last eight.

Draper is set to take on Switzerland’s Marc-Andrea Huesler in North Carolina as he aims to reach the semi-finals of an ATP Tour event for the second time this season.

The young Brit outlasted fan favourite Dominic Thiem last time out to book his place in his third quarterfinal of 2022.

“I started confidently, I started well,” said Draper.

“I was hitting through the ball, felt good in the conditions. It was a difficult start because I felt like everyone was supporting Dominic and I knew that I needed to come out confidently and sharp, and that’s what I did.”

Huesler is a player of similar physical gifts to Draper as a 6’5″ southpaw but in six years as a professional has yet to achieve the heights that the young Brit has at least in terms of career-high ranking.

Draper gives up a little Huesler in terms of reach, but that extra leverage is offset by the more powerful build of the 20-year-old from Sutton.

There is a real French flavour to the last eight with a potential semi-final between Benjamin Bonzi and Adrian Mannarino lying in wait.

In order to bring that All-French semi-final into being Mannarino will first need to get beyond French-born American fourth seed Maxime Cressy while Bonzi will need to down Dutch No 1 and second seed Botic van de Zandschulp in the second semi-final on the order of play in Winston-Salem.

Adding further to the strong French feel of the Winston-Salem Open, Richard Gasquet contests the third quarter-final against Serbian Laslo Đere.

Gasquet and Đere will determine the opponent for the winner of the match between Draper and Huesler which concludes the programme for the day.
