Jack Draper: British No 1 battles past Alexei Popyrin to reach quarter-finals at Queen’s Club | Tennis News

Jacques Dripper has received a strict test of the Grasscourt title with a three -group victory against Alexei Poperin on a hot day at Queens Club.

The second seed at the ATP 500 event in West London lost the group before drilling deep to close 3-6 6-2 7-6 (7-5) success at the Andy Murray Arena Stadium.

The 23 -year -old brought down the opening group to the Australian world’s 21st Australian world, but he gathered himself to settle the match.

Then it came through the specified tie to win a difficult competition in two hours and 13 minutes.

If DRIBIPR is separating a new land and reached a semi -final before marriage in West London, he will be fourth in Wimbledon.

“It was a difficult match, credit for Alexei, and he played some amazing tennis,” said Dryber, who was then able to face the British confrontation against Dan Evans.

“My family here and my friends here and I love to be at home, play in front of family and friends. It is an emotional moment for me.

“In the first two groups it was not great at all, I need time to adapt to the grass but another one under the belt.”

Dreter forced two points in the seventh match of the first group, but two AESS 130 miles per hour were removed from Popyrin from the troubles.

Then the British lost his focus for a moment and before he knew that, Buberin had three breaks.

This group quickly disappeared, although the game was briefly placed when a strange storm of winds was immersed in the Sindi Murray Square, where a spectator hat sent flying to Popyrin and large pieces of barriers spinning to the field.

However, it was Dripper who got a second wind with a double break to draw a level.

His pain made him in trouble and came out of it after he gave a double boulene error a break at the beginning of the decision, with a big service and then ACE that links a vital contract.

Poperin clung with courage, as he saved two points for the match where he served in 4-5, and in a tie, he led 4-2.

But Dreter went up to the gas to win five points from the last six points, as he finished the mission with the Ace.

“Dryber seems to want to play tennis without fear.”

Sky Sports The commentator, Jonathan, reflects Darbar’s victory, saying: “The Herbal Herbal Tennis is rewarded, and Derbar appears without fear, for me, it seems that he wants to play tennis without fear when returning, and this may be very important at Wimbledon’s time.

“With a return, there is a more flagrant difference if I say that Novak Djokovic is the best return and is 10 out of 10, well, the best returnees in the world are more like a six out of 10, instead of eight out of 10 for service, so there is a big difference there.

“This means that there are fewer men who are able to make a change, and to cause influence on those big moments on the grass and I think Draper is definitely one of these people who can do it.”

The excessive discussion of the third tie added: “The point about the seizure of this moment has made it clear. Dripper had a late turn in the tie to try to overcome the line, so he goes to his bag and changes his strike.

“I assume that he went to a more talented fantastic tension to control more control over the next return because he knows that he must strike a defensive return because the boulene serves greatly but he wants more control because the last time was drifted for a long time. But this remains at this point.

“He was smart and smart, a kind of quick thinking, which will be required in those big moments in Wimbledon.”
