Jack Draper cruised into the last 16 of the Monte-Carlo Masters with a straight-sets victory over Marcos Giron.
The British No 1 produced a dominant 6-1 6-1 win to kick-off his tournament – and quest for a second ATP 1000 title of the season – after receiving a bye to the second round.
Tomas Etcheverry or Alejandro Fokina stand between Draper and a place in the quarter-finals, where fourth seed and former Roland Garros and US Open runner-up Casper Ruud could lie in wait.
What is Jack Draper’s route to the final?
Should he reach the semi-finals, Draper would potentially meet reigning French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz for the third time this season.
Meanwhile, British No 3 Cameron Norrie was unable to join Draper in the main draw after losing 6-4 2-6 6-3 to Mattia Bellucci in qualifying.
