Eastbourne: Jack Draper beats Ryan Peniston to reach semi-finals

Britain's Jack Draper reached his first ATP Tour semi-final with victory over compatriot Ryan Peniston at Eastbourne.

The world number 108 fought back from a break down in the second set to beat his good friend 6-3 6-3.

Draper, the last remaining Briton in the draw, will face Maxime Cressy for a place in the final.

American Cressy earlier beat top seed and British number one Cameron Norrie 7-5 7-5, while Harriet Dart fell 6-3 6-4 to Petra Kvitova.

All four Britons will compete at Wimbledon, which begins on Monday.

Peniston looked fatigued, having completed a 7-6 (10-8) 3-6 6-3 win over Spain's Pedro Martinez earlier on Thursday morning after the match was delayed due to bad light.
