<\/a>Draper’s serve is too good<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 6-2 5-1 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brit\u2019s quick and accurate serve is superb today and Baez has had no answer when it\u2019s been on song. <\/p>\n

Draper moves ahead in the set again and is within one game of taking a 2-0 lead. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Draper breaks for second time in set<\/p>\n

*Jack Draper 6-2 4-1 Sebastian Baez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Draper\u2019s level has just dipped slightly but he\u2019s still more than a match for Baez who defends his own serve on multiple occasions. <\/p>\n

The British No 1 gets one chance to break serve from advantage and does so with a blistering cross court forehand!<\/p>\n

The crowd goes nuts for that shot. Wow. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Baez plays on as Draper extends lead<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 6-2 3-1 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baez has chosen to play on despite how uncomfortable he is feeling. <\/p>\n

This won\u2019t help his mood either. Draper flings through four serves and leaves Baez with no chance to return any of them except the last. <\/p>\n

That return is then whipped past the Argentine and Draper holds to love. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Medical timeout for Baez<\/p>\n

*Jack Draper 6-2 2-1 Sebastian Baez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baez holds his own serve and then calls for the physio. He slipped on court at the start of the second set and may have tweaked a muscle or something? <\/p>\n

The match is paused for the time being and Jack Draper waits for the restart. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Draper up a break in the second set<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 6-2 2-0 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Draper is looking really good. He drills a fine backhand down the line to draw level at 15-15 in the next game. <\/p>\n

An attempted drop shot from Baez then hits the tape and he goes behind again. <\/p>\n

Draper serves to the Argentine\u2019s forehand and moves further ahead before securing his hold with a wide second serve that Baez whips too long. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Draper breaks Baez!<\/p>\n

*Jack Draper 6-2 1-0 Sebastian Baez<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lovely forehand down the line from Draper offers up the chance to break. <\/p>\n

He pushes a backhand onto the baseline from the next serve. Baez meets it with a backhand of his own but lofts his stroke too long. <\/p>\n

Draper has another early break. He celebrates with a quick fist pump. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Baez defending serve in second set<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 6-2 0-0 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baez is quite a bit shorter than Draper and, as such, doesn\u2019t have the same reach. He needs to be on his top game but is making a few simple errors when pushing the forehand too long.<\/p>\n

Baez also misses a forehand volley from the net and Draper edges ahead 15-30. <\/p>\n

Oh! Baez slips on court as Draper sends a forehand too long. The Argentine now leads but he might have twinged something. He seems okay to continue and loses the next point which takes the game to deuce. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Draper wins first set<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 6-2 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ball stays lower on grass which could play in Baez\u2019s favour. <\/p>\n

Not if Draper\u2019s serve continues to be accurate. He\u2019s sent down four aces already and Baez has struggled to return a bunch more. <\/p>\n

A hold of serve to 15 ends the first set in less than half an hour. <\/p>\n

Draper\u2019s campaign is well underway now. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Baez pulls one back<\/p>\n

*Jack Draper 5-2 Sebastian Baez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite being four games down, Baez is starting to tick. A wonderful inside out forehand lands right on the sideline and takes him through to a hold of serve. <\/p>\n

Draper will now serve to win the set. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Draper closes in on first set<\/p>\n

Jack Draper 5-1 Sebastian Baez*<\/strong><\/p>\n

This has already been mightily impressive from Jack Draper. A couple of fizzing serves from the Brit forces Baez to err.<\/p>\n

A big cross court forehand takes Draper to 40-0 before a wide ace brings him another hold of serve. <\/p>\n

One more game is all he needs.<\/p>\n
