Jack Draper Dominates Davis Cup Return with Straight-Sets Rout After 5-Month Absence
Jack Draper Overpowers Durasovic in Oslo After Long Layoff, Secures First Point for Great Britain
Absent from the courts since withdrawing in the second round of the US Open at the end of August, Jack Draper returned to competition this Thursday in the first round of the Davis Cup tie between Norway and Great Britain.
On the indoor court in Oslo, the British No. 1, who has slipped to No. 13 in the world rankings, comfortably dispatched Viktor Durasovic in two sets (6-2, 6-2) in 58 minutes of play.
A solid serving performance
Draper notably fired eight aces and won 88% of points behind his first serve. A victory that hands the first point of the tie to his nation, while regaining good sensations after this persistent left-arm injury that forced him to skip the Australian Open.
