Read our privacy policy Jack Draper returned to winning ways at the Japan Open with a straight-sets victory over Mattia Bellucci. The result is Draper’s first singles success since his brilliant run at the US Open, where he was defeated by eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals. “I look forward to hopefully competing well for the rest of the tournament.” After a tight start, Draper began to take charge after breaking his opponent in the fifth game and the world No 20 then sent down four aces en route to claiming the opening set. Draper then cruised to victory in the second set, breaking Bellucci – ranked 103 in the world – twice to secure safe passage to a showdown with Poland’s Hurkacz.
