Draper revels in faster Paris conditions to beat Fonseca
The Independent
|June 01, 2025
On the hottest day of this year's French Open, Jack Draper used the conditions to his advantage as he secured his most impressive victory yet at Roland Garros.
A year or so ago, the British No 1 would have have wilted under temperatures that touched 30C in Paris, but even as Draper wrapped ice around his neck and removed his shirt in an effort to cool down during the changeovers, there was no danger of him fading as he raced to a straight-sets win over Joao Fonseca.
Fonseca is a rising star from Brazil, with the 18-year-old carrying an explosive forehand despite his slight build and baby face. But Fonseca was unable to use his exciting weapons and all-court game. Draper was on him from the start, serving superbly and overpowering Fonseca with his heavy top-spin forehand that kicked viciously off the clay.
