Jack Draper Overcomes Injury Concern to Defeat Jaume Munar at Cincinnati Open

Posted : 15 August 2024

Jack Draper rallied from a 4-2 deficit in the deciding set tie-break to secure a hard-fought victory over Jaume Munar in the first round of the Cincinnati Open. The British number one triumphed with a scoreline of 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) and will now face Greek ninth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in the next round. Draper, who was also dealing with an injury concern, had to call for the physio at 6-5 in the final set due to an abdomen issue but managed to clinch the win with his second match point.

 

Tsitsipas advanced to the second round by defeating Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff with a score of 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. Meanwhile, world number one Jannik Sinner also progressed, overcoming American qualifier Alex Michelsen 6-4, 7-5. Sinner, the top seed, will face Australian Jordan Thompson in the next round.

 

In the women’s draw, British players Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart were eliminated in the first round. Boulter lost to Poland’s Magda Linette with a score of 6-2, 0-6, 5-7, while Dart was defeated by Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva 6-4, 0-6, 1-6.

 

Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek, who is also the top seed, needed three sets to defeat qualifier Varvara Gracheva. Swiatek won 6-0, 6-7 (8-10), 6-2. As players continue to compete in Cincinnati, they are also preparing for the US Open, which is set to begin on August 26 in New York.
