Wimbledon: Norrie wins all-British battle against Draper
“It was nice to use my experience against Jack,” he continued.
Norrie has now defeated Draper three times, with the younger Brit still unable to win a set off his compatriot.
Norrie, ranked No 42, will play the winner of the match between American Marcos Giron and German Alexander Zverev, the No 4 seed, next.
Cameron Norrie won against Argentinian Facundo Diaz Acosta (7-5, 7-5, 6-3) in the previous round of The Championships.
