Read our privacy policy British number one Jack Draper continued his superb recent form with victory over Jiri Lehecka in the first round of the Paris Masters. The 22-year-old, who reached the US Open semi-finals in September, edged a tight first set courtesy of a single break of serve in the 11th game, with Lehecka committing three crucial unforced errors. Another unforced error from Lehecka, this time a double fault, gifted Draper a break of serve in the fifth game of the second set and another break soon followed to allow Draper to complete a comfortable win. World number two Carlos Alcaraz safely progressed to the third round with a straight-sets win over Chile’s Nicolas Jarry.
