- British world No5 wins 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 in Rome
- Turning point in second set after video review
Just when it seemed like Jack Draper had weathered the storm in his dramatic, anxiety-filled fourth round tussle at the Italian Open, all hell broke loose. Draper had recovered well from a difficult start and he offered himself a chance to serve for the second set against Corentin Moutet and level the match. Instead, he played one of the worst service games of his life.
In the face of that adversity, like so many other times on Tuesday afternoon, Draper gave an impressive exhibition of his growing mental strength and inner belief as he regrouped and found a way into the quarter-finals in Rome with an excellent 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win.
