"Jack Draper did not face a break point in the entire match but he simply could not handle Opelka's serve. I didn't have many chances, especially on his serve, said Draper."
"Opelka proudly describes himself as a servebot. This performance was a demonstration of his destructive serving and his ability to completely take his racket out of the hands of his opponents."
"Patience has been an important quality for Katie Boulter, who continued her impressive return to form by reaching the third round after the 17th seed Clara Tauson was forced to retire due to injury."
"Boulter, who had fallen out of the top 100 after a tough season last year, bounced back with a brilliant title run at the WTA 250 in Ostrava last month and now sits at No 63 in the live rankings."
Jack Draper faced a challenging defeat against Reilly Opelka at the Miami Open, losing 7-6(3), 7-6(0) without facing a break point. Opelka's dominant serving, highlighted by 25 aces, overwhelmed Draper, who is still recovering from a seven-month injury hiatus. Meanwhile, Katie Boulter advanced to the third round after Clara Tauson retired due to injury. Boulter's recent success includes a title at the WTA 250 in Ostrava, improving her ranking to No 63 as she prepares to face Karolina Muchova next.
