Draper survives dramatic Moutet tussle to reach Italian Open quarter-final
Just when it seemed like Jack Draper had weathered the storm in his dramatic, anxiety-filled fourth round tussle at the Italian Open, all hell broke loose. Draper had recovered well from a difficult start and he offered himself a chance to serve for the second set against Corentin Moutet and level the match. Instead, he played one of the worst service games of his life. In the face of that adversity, like so many other times on Tuesday afternoon, Draper gave an impressive exhibition of his growing mental strength and inner belief as he regrouped and found a way into the quarter-finals in Rome with an excellent 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win. Having never reached a clay court ATP quarterfinal above ATP 250 level three weeks ago, Draper has now reached consecutive Masters 1000 quarter-finals on the surface. He has also reached the quarter-finals in three of the five Masters 1000 tournaments played so far in 2025. Over the past week, his first as a global top five player, Draper has again broken new ground. In his third round match, despite a straightforward 6-3, 6-4 scoreline against the qualifier Vit Kopriva, the difficulty of competing for three weeks in a row after his run to the Madrid Open final was plain for all to see. Frustrated with his low intensity, Draper obliterated his racket midway through the second set before closing out the match. Fresh off a spectacular upset win against the ninth seed Holger Rune, Moutet is well known for his varied, crafty lefty game and his extroverted personality on court. He can be an incredibly tricky opponent for all players. From the beginning, Moutet made use of every tool at his disposal. He served and volleyed throughout the opening set, effectively exposing Draper's deep return position while peppering the Briton with a mixture of spins and slices. Along with his excellent defence, he outmaneuvered Draper with his forehand in the lengthier rallies. As Moutet soared, Draper retreated into his shell, playing nervous, tentative tennis. At the end of such a one-sided first set, Draper spent almost the entire changeover hyping himself up. He started the second set with more energy and aggression, piecing together consecutive service holds to start the set and he adopted a more advanced return position. Moutet, however, continued to play brilliantly, unlocking more layers to his game with his drop shots and court craft. The complexion of the match was already changing when they reached a potential turning point as Draper served at 3-3 in the second set. On the opening point of the game, Draper retrieved another of Moutet's countless drop shots, with the Frenchman missing the subsequent shot. Moutet called for a video review, and then argued at length with the umpire, Nico Helwerth, after the point was awarded to his opponent. Shortly after Draper's service hold for 4-3, the Briton finally secured his first break of the match and an opportunity to serve for the second set. Instead, he crumbled, striking a double fault and two dire drop shot attempts and losing his serve to love. He regrouped brilliantly, however, closing out the match in the subsequent game with a break. Even after such a second-set ending, Moutet refused to let his level drop. He spent much of the third set picking Draper apart with a constant stream of perfectly-measured drop shots. Draper, however, had finally found his rhythm on serve and he marched through his own service games with some of his most offensive shot-making of the match. The constant pressure he exerted finally yielded the decisive break as he took another step forward in his clay court development.

Jack Draper storms through to last 16 at Italian Open
British No 1 Jack Draper admitted that 'I get out of bed and I feel so angry some days' after smashing his racket in dramatic style during his 6-4, 6-3 win over Czech clay-court specialist Vit Kopriva. After the way Draper has played in recent months, this latest victory – which earned him a crack at Corentin Moutet in Rome's last 16 – actually felt like something of a disappointment. Draper certainly seemed unhappy with his own performance, which saw his forehand cough up a concerning tally of 24 unforced errors. While it is hardly unusual for players to smash rackets, few tend to do so when leading by a set and a break. Frustrations rise for Jack Draper in the second set after missing multiple break points 😳 — Sky Sports Tennis (@SkySportsTennis) May 11, 2025 Yet it is revealing that everyone – including the man himself – should expect so much from Draper. You could see it as a reflection of how brilliantly and consistently he has been performing. The last time he lost to a man ranked as low as Kopriva, the world No 92, was almost a year ago at the French Open. In that time, he has revolutionised his own game and learned how to dominate run-of-the-mill opponents like Kopriva. His frustration on Sunday was that he could not finish the job more quickly – and that in turn stemmed from a wasteful day on break points. Draper won only three of 13 break-point opportunities, which allowed Kopriva to keep him out in the Rome sunshine for an hour and 41 minutes. 'I was a bit flat today,' said Draper in one of his court-side interviews. 'It's tough. I'm human. I've been mentally and physically on for the last three weeks. They're not easy now, these two-week Masters events, especially if you go deep. On the days when you're tired it's really tough to stay there mentally on every point. I got a bit frustrated today. I don't condone it. But I did well to come through.' Dominant display 💪@jackdraper0 defeats Kopriva 6-4 6-3 to notch his 100th tour-level win and book a spot in the Rome last 16!#IBI25 — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) May 11, 2025 In a separate chat with Sky Sports' Gigi Salmon, Draper spoke more about his exhaustion. 'When I get out of bed I feel so angry some days. And, you know, I've got to play a tennis match and I've got to lose points, so I've got to go through those emotional ups and downs. 'I'm in a new position now. My ranking's obviously going up, and I'm getting to compete week in, week out, and play lots of matches. And that's taken some getting used to from the mental and physical side. I want to keep going, but yeah, it's sometimes difficult to always be perfect.' Salmon then asked him about Moutet, another left-hander, and a man with a volcanic temperament. 'I kind of looked up to him when I was younger, because I think he won Tarbes,' Draper replied, in relation to one of the most prestigious tournaments on the junior tour. 'I think he's always been quite flarey,' added Draper, presumably referring to Moutet's tendency to flare up with anger when something unexpected happens on the court. 'I think he brings a lot to tennis, to be honest. Every time I watch him, it's an interesting match. So I look forward to that battle.' "The frustration boiled out a little bit too much" ♨️Jack Draper on his racket smash 👇 — Sky Sports Tennis (@SkySportsTennis) May 11, 2025 Two gladiators in the arena ❤️🔥Inside Stadio Pietrangeli as @moutet99 wins a 3-hour-44-minute CLASSIC! — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) May 11, 2025 Draper speaking to TennisTV: 'It was a tough match, someone who's come through qualifying, playing good tennis. I haven't seen much of him around but he had a great win against [Sebastian] Baez in the last round so I knew it would be a tough match. 'I was trying to get my energy up at the start, I was a bit flat today but I thought I did a really good job of competing hard throughout the match. He definitely came out fighting in that second set so I'm proud of the way I came through.' Triple Digits: Unlocked 🔓@jackdraper0 defeats Kopriva to record a 100th tour-level victory of his career!#IBI25 — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) May 11, 2025 Kopriva, serving to stay in the match, starts the game with another cracking backhand winner. The Czech then does the same on the forehand wing to go 30-0 up.

Good afternoon and welcome to coverage of Jack Draper versus qualifier Vit Kopriva in the third round of the Italian Open. Draper silenced the Italian crowd in his opening encounter on Friday, beating home favourite Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-4 in 78 minutes. The fifth seed, who had a first-round bye, looked like he had picked up from where he left off in Madrid, racing through the first set in 24 minutes after breaking the Italian three times. The Briton was made to work a little harder in the second set however but managed to see out the match in straights. Speaking after, Draper said: 'I think I came out really well. I think mentally I knew it was going to be a little bit difficult and I'm glad about how I played in certain moments. I think I needed a match here to feel like I was strong again and I just think it was a really good mental performance today.' The British No 1 is currently one of the most in-form players on the ATP Tour following his Indian Wells title in March and his runner-up showing in Madrid last month. Kopriva has played most of his tennis on the Challenger circuit this year and won a title on clay, in Naples in March. Ironically, the 27-year-old Czech beat Darderi in that final. Kopriva also made it to the quarter-finals in Marrakech, an ATP 250, last month. In Rome, the world No 92 had to come through qualifying which means he has a total of four matches under his belt coming into this contest with Draper. The pair met last year in Munich on the clay and that went the way of the Briton in three sets. That was their only meeting on the ATP Tour.
