Jack Draper's chances vs Cam Norrie after using Novak Djokovic lesson to go on title run

Jack Draper will take on Cameron Norrie in an all-British Miami Open second-round after winning his first-ever match at Masters 1000 level on Wednesday. The world No 146 defeated Gilles Simon 7-5 6-1 at the Miami Open and was rewarded with a battle of the Brits.

Draper was awarded a wildcard into the main draw of the Miami Open this year after his 2021 campaign came to a sudden end when he was forced to retire 5-7 down to Mikhail Kukushkin hen he collapsed in the heat. The 20-year-old received another main draw wildcard for 2022 and didn't waste his opportunity, defeating the former world No 6 in less than two hours for his maiden Masters 1000 victory.

He will next take on tenth seed Norrie in what will be the second career meeting between the British No 1 and No 5. The pair met in the Queens quarter-final last year where Norrie won 6-3 6-3 after Draper defeated Jannik Sinner and Alexander Bublik, then world Nos 23 and 39, to reach the last eight.

The London local is hoping to prove he has come on since his last meeting with the world No 12 and was excited for the chance to challenge himself against the top-ranked Brit. "It's going to be a tough one because I think he might be top ten this week, I'm not too sure but he's doing incredibly well at the moment so it's a good challenge for me to see when I'm at. I think I'm just a better player eight months, nine months on and I think he is as well but it will be good for both of us to get on court and battle, and let's see what happens," Draper told Amazon Prime Video after his win.
