  3. 'It's not about how you start but about how you finish'

    Bellucci 6-3 1-6 4-6 2-6 Draper

    World number five Jack Draper speaking about the playing conditions on Court Suzanne Lenglen: "It's a little different playing indoors. It is obviously a little bit more humid. It doesn't seem like you can get the same amount of speed behind the ball as when the roof is open, with the air. I thought I adapted well to that after the first set, that was another small change.

    "In the end, it's not about how you start but about how you finish - and I finished pretty well."

    On his success in the past three or four months: "I think it has been about staying fit and putting in the hard work. I've also just been focusing on being consistent every day. I think the biggest things are having amazing people around me and putting in the hard work."

  4. 'I'm really proud of the way I turned the game on its head'

    Bellucci 6-3 1-6 4-6 2-6 Draper

    World number five Jack Draper speaking on court after his first-round win: "It was incredible, especially playing with the roof on. You guys showed amazing for both of us players. I really appreciate you guys coming out and ing us, that's why we play so thank you."

    On losing the opening set but fighting back in the second set: "I think Mattia Bellucci came out and played really aggressive from the start. He was coming out with some amazing shots which caught me a little bit off guard. I was serving a couple of double faults which doesn't help because the margins are so small at this level.

    "I'm really proud of the way I turned the game on its head when I started to be more aggressive. It was a really tough battle so credit to Mattia because he played incredibly."

  5. Interviews done. Draper gets a fine reception and then heads over to a queue of fans with big tennis balls and pens after his signature.

    Jack Draper changes his shirt one last time, he's now wearing a red jersey that almost looks like an old rugby top.

    He's doing his on-court interview. He says he was caught off guard in the first set but is proud of his response.

  7. 'One of the guys to watch, no question about it'

    Jack Draper is one of the guys to watch, no question about it. That is a terrific win for him.

    He has got to be so happy with the way he went about his business. I'm not sure he could've done anything in that first set, his opponent was so fantastic.

    But Draper just stayed extremely calm and I think that was the most impressive aspect of what he did. He didn't flinch, he just kept his head down.

    I think it is only a matter of time now. Draper is just looking so in command of this match and I think he can sense what's going on down at the other end of the court.

    Bellucci has lost that demeanour that we saw at the beginning of this match, when it was all smiles and happiness. He was giving the crowd plenty to cheer about, but that feels like a long time ago now.

    It feels like Mattia Bellucci is running out of emotional steam in this match.

    This is the first time I've felt like his bubble has burst and his level has dropped off quite dramatically.

    Bellucci has become a little bit scrambled and Draper just keeps coming at him.
