After all the build-up to Jack Draper’s Wimbledon homecoming, this opening match proved to be a total anticlimax, with his opponent Sebastian Baez retiring early in the third set on account of a tweaked knee.

“I wanted to play a bit longer in all honesty,” was the verdict from Jack Draper after booking his place in the second round at Wimbledon. That the British number one needed just 74 minutes to do so is no bad thing, though, body and mind kept fresh for sterner tests to come.
