French Open: Draper Brushes Off Fonseca To Reach Fourth Round
Next Gen ATP Finals: Jack Draper of Great Britain continued his superb season at the French Open on Saturday as he dispatched the young Brazilian Joao Fonseca 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to reach the fourth round for the first time in Paris.
The spotlight was on Draper in his second ATP head-to-head meeting with the 18-year-old Fonseca, who had not dropped a set en route to reaching the third round at a major for the first time.
However, the 2024 Next Gen ATP Finals winner Fonseca struggled for consistency. He was unable to live with Draper’s power and physicality in the hot and lively conditions on Court Suzanne-Lenglen. The British lefty hit his heavy topspin forehand with depth and was relaxed for large periods, striking with liquid power to dominate the brutal baseline exchanges.
