JACK Draper claims he is finally ready to break his French Open duck.
The British number one enters the second grand slam of the season as the fifth seed - despite having never won a match at Roland Garros.
Draper was ranked 39 in the world when he was beaten by qualifier Jesper De Jong in the first round last year.
It proved something of a watershed moment for the Londoner, who has since been a US Open semi-finalist, an ATP Masters winner and climbed into the world’s top five.
Draper, who faces Italian Mattia Bellucci in the first round, admitted: “It’s weird, I've never won a match here, but I come here feeling good about my tennis.
