Great Britain’s Jack Draper beats defending champion Frances Tiafoe to reach Stuttgart Open semi-finals

Great Britain’s Jack Draper is into the semi-finals of the Stuttgart Open after coming from a set down to beat defending champion Frances Tiafoe.

Draper triumphed 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7-1) on Friday afternoon and will now take on Tiafoe’s fellow American Brandon Nakashima in the last four on Saturday.

The Briton, seeded sixth in Germany, sent down 31 aces in his quarter-final victory and won 85 per cent of points on his first serve.

Draper is now into his sixth ATP Tour semi-final and aiming to reach a third final, with the 22-year-old having finished runner-up in the 2023 Sofia Open and 2024 Adelaide international, to Adrian Mannarino and Jiri Lehecka respectively.
