Queen's: Jack Draper beats Taylor Fritz at Cinch Championships in London

Britain's Jack Draper marked his debut in the world's top 100 with a first win over a top-20 ranked opponent when he beat Taylor Fritz at Queen's.

Draper, 20, used his powerful game to good effect on the grass, leading to a 6-3 6-2 victory on the opening day of the Cinch Championships in west London.

American fourth seed Fritz is ranked 14th in the world, but was overwhelmed by British number four Draper.

Draper played with confidence and conviction, particularly on serve.

Draper, who moved up to 99th in the world on Monday, missed the French Open with a minor muscle injury as he prioritised the grass-court season.
