Jack Draper continues his grass-court season today on an action-packed day two at the Queen’s Club.

The Brit reached the last-16 last year, defeating Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets in a coming-of-age victory that marked his arrival onto the biggest stage.

This year Draper is the second seed rather than an up-and-coming challenger, and will have all eyes on him as a major contender for the title.

He opened his campaign with an assured 6-3, 6-1 win over the tricky, unorthodox American Jenson Brooksby, who Draper beat earlier this year en route to his maiden Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells.

Today he faces world No 21 Alexei Popyrin, who memorably beat Novak Djokovic at the US Open last year, and who represents a more formidable challenge.

Here’s all you need to know:
