Jack Draper bows out of Queen's Club with defeat by Emil Ruusuvuori (The Guardian)

The 20-year-old Briton was defeated 6-2, 7-6(2) by the Finnish qualifier in the second round at Queen's Club.

In Birmingham Katie Boulter followed up her solid first-round win over the recent Nottingham finalist, Alison Riske, by reaching the quarter‑finals with a 7-6(5), 6-1 victory against Caroline Garcia of France, who is ranked 74th but was once a top-five player. In the rallies he was relentless with his offence, standing on top of the baseline and dominating with his forehand. Throughout a tough second set Draper fought admirably while under constant pressure in his own service games, finding big serves on important points and even saving a match point at 4-5. But Ruusuvuori, a hard-working Finnish player, demonstrated all of the confidence he gained from the qualifying rounds as he neutralised Draper’s strengths and picked apart his weaknesses. From the beginning Ruusuvuori dealt with Draper’s big lefty serve excellently, retrieving a high number of returns and consistently landing them deep. Instead, he was dealt a valuable lesson in his young career as he was outplayed 6-2, 7-6(2) by the qualifier Emil Ruusuvuori.

JACK DRAPER is into the second round at Queen's - his last tournament before Wimbledon.

“I think watching her do something special, made me think as someone in a tough place who was injured, I saw her do well and thought I could do that. Jack Draper has credited Emma Raducanu for motivating him to get to an “incredible place” with the 20-year-old set to play his second Wimbledon main draw. He will then go onto Wimbledon for his second main draw appearance at the All England Club, having taken the first set off of eventual-champion Novak Djokovic in his debut last year.

British hope Draper loses at Queen's (BBC News)

British wildcard Jack Draper misses out on back-to-back Queen's quarter-finals after losing to Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round.

However, Draper lacked conviction in his groundstrokes in the early stages against Ruusuvuori and was not able to recover. With his powerful serve and explosive hitting, the left-hander has the ability to be successful on grass and proved that by recording the biggest win of his career by ranking in his opening match this year. The Finn continued to comfortably hold serve in the second set and controlled the tie-break to seal a superb win.
