<\/a>Is Draper more comfortable on grass now?<\/p>\n

That was one of the questions posed to the British No.1. <\/p>\n

He replied: “A little bit, not exactly in the first couple of sets it wasn’t pretty at all. <\/p>\n

\u201cI still need some time to adjust to grass but I’m feeling better every time I get through these matches. <\/p>\n

\u201cOne more under the belt and I’ll be back on Friday.” <\/p>\n

Jack Draper spoke on court after his victory. He was asked about the impact of playing in front of his home supporters and said: <\/p>\n

“There’s days where I need that extra support, today was one of them. Tough match and credit to Alexei [Popyrin] it was a bit up and down but you guys helped me through that so thank you.<\/p>\n

“I think he’s gone to the beer tent but my grandad is here. My family and friends are here and I love being at home and playing in front of them so it’s an emotional moment for me honestly.”<\/p>\n
