Cameron Norrie wins battle of the Brits against Jack Draper in Miami Open

Cameron Norrie scored his second career win over compatriot Jack Draper 7-6(5) 6-4 in an all-British affair in the Miami Open second round. Draper had secured his maiden win at Masters 1000 level in his first round against Gilles Simon to set up a battle of the Brits but it was the 10th seed who got the better of the 20-year-old in a repeat of their Queens quarter-final from last year.

It was the second meeting between British Nos 1 and 5 Norrie and Draper, who met in the Queens quarter-final last year. Draper, ranked outside the world's top 300 at the time, beat then-world Nos 23 and 39 Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik to make the last-eight in the ATP 500 event but it was Norrie who advanced 6-3 6-3.

Both have come on since their only clash nine months ago, with Norrie going on to reach a career-high of world No 12, winning Indian Wells in October, while Draper has started his 2022 season by winning three Challenger titles. The battle of the Brits opened with a six-minute game containing a 37-shot rally as both men managed to hold on early in the set.

The 10th seed this week in Miami earned the first break points of the match at 2-3 0-40, pouncing to take a lead over his younger compatriot. But Norrie was unable to close it out despite holding a set point when he served for it at 5-3, and Draper broke before eventually forcing a tiebreak.

The 20-year-old managed to shake off losing a tight first set as he opened the second with a love-hold and
