Spaniard beats British No 1 6-3, 6-7 (6) on clay courtServe abandons Draper, who records 10 double faults
Jack Draper crashed out at the last-16 stage of the Monte-Carlo Masters following defeat to Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Fifth seed Draper, who dispatched Marcos Giron in a comfortable 6-1, 6-1 victory on Tuesday, struggled with his serve, accounting for 10 double faults during the 6-3, 6-7 (6), 6-4 loss.
“Today I didn’t feel at my best or at my best mentally with my strategy,” Davidovich Fokina said on court after the win, in which he made 57 unforced errors to his opponent’s 46. “It was a rollercoaster with my mind, I didn’t know how to control the emotions and I didn’t respect myself or my team. I am so sorry with how I did today and I am happy with the win and I will be ready for tomorrow.
