- Draper was sick on court, and he later blamed anti-inflammatories rather than tension as the cause.
- He won 6-4 7-5 6-7 (7) 6-2 in just over three hours, acknowledging it was not his finest performance but credited his opponent.
- Draper struggled with his serve, recording five double faults and a lower average first-serve speed compared to his previous year's matches.
