"Draper struggled against the powerful 6ft 11in Opelka, who fired down 25 aces and 47 winners, wrapping up the win inside 93 minutes."
""It's a difficult one," said Draper, who has never made it beyond the second round in Miami. "Obviously I haven't played a load of tennis, it's still the very start of my comeback from my injury, so it's going to take time.""
""It was a complete battle - some ugly tennis and ugly conditions as well, but you have to find a way," Boulter said after her match."
Jack Draper was eliminated from the Miami Open in the second round after losing to Reilly Opelka in two tie-breaks. Draper, who recently returned from an arm injury, faced challenges against Opelka's powerful serve. Despite a strong performance at Indian Wells, Draper is at risk of dropping in the rankings. Meanwhile, Katie Boulter advanced to the third round after her opponent Clara Tauson retired due to injury during their match, despite Boulter initially trailing.
