Since the Australian Open round of 16, we hadn't seen Jack Draper in action, when he had to retire in the middle of the match against Alcaraz at the end of the second set, unable to continue the fight after a previous infernal journey. Almost a month later, the British player has returned to the circuit to celebrate a good victory in the first round of the ATP 500 in Doha against Alexei Popyrin (6-2, 7-6), confirming that he hasn't been idle all this time. We will have to keep an eye on him this week, as we know of his danger on fast surfaces. For now, a tough match awaits him in the round of 16: Christopher O'Connell.
