Live Jack Draper vs Vit Kopriva: Score and latest updates from Italian Open
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.

Jack Draper muscles his way past Luciano Darderi in Rome to reach the third round of the Italian Open
It wasn't just the altitude then. Jack Draper showed his muscular brand of clay court tennis can succeed at 13 metres above sea level as well as at 646m, beating Luciano Darderi 6-1, 6-4 to reach the third round of the Italian Open. The ball may not zip through the air here in Rome as it does in the heights of Madrid, where Draper reached the final last month, but when you can whack it like he does that scarcely matters. He ripped the Italian apart in the first set and ground him down in the second and that is what makes Draper such a dangerous opponent: he can play point-and-shoot tennis as well as anyone in the world, but take him into the trenches and he is ready to tough out long rallies, too. That latter quality will be required more in the slower conditions of Rome than it was in Madrid; balls were coming back against Darderi that would have been clean winners in the heights of the Spanish capital. 'Conditions felt a fair bit different,' said Draper, who plays Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva, the world No 92, on Sunday. 'But I have confidence in the way I'm playing, I don't see why I can't keep on playing really good level on any clay court. I'm learning all the time, playing better and better on the surface.' The 23-year-old Darderi is no slouch. He is the world No 46 and won the title on the clay of Marrakech in March; he is a bloody good tennis player but bloody good is not good enough against Draper at the moment. As winners poured from his racket in the first set frustration set in among the locals, who were tossing up their hands and shrugging as if to say: 'What can you do against that?' A superb rally in the third game of the second set raised the energy of the contest; Darderi and the crowd began feeding off each other. Draper faced break points in the third, seventh and ninth games but he saved them all - six in total - and then struck at 4-5 to take the match. The top players step up in the big moments and Draper is mastering that ability. 'I have belief in those moments that I'm not going to go into my shell, I kept on trying to come forwards, kept on trying to do the right things. 'That's what I see from top players, they back themselves every point, regardless of whether it's a break point or not. Those pressure moments, that's what separates great players from good players.
