    First bad set of the damned tournament and he broke the world number one in it. You're being incredibly harsh. Needs to get his serve going but otherwise going toe to toe

    Draper is playing like Rusedski 2.0. He was dominant the other night but isn’t even getting the simple stuff right today.

    Have to agree about the coaches.
    Tennis was always about the main man when it came to the competition.
    Frustrating as hell listening/watching the yadder etc

    Feel for the guy. No tennis fan. Slugging himself.

    Player himself will be thinking he's playing crap if hes double faulting,so fans are only going to be thinking same.i know his mother was going out to see him,she's probably added more pressure to his game if she's watching close by,its a good feeling when your parents are proud of you,and he'll know she'll be bigging him up to fck if he wins it,nobody wants to be told (u were great first English man and all that)but he's world number 1 for a reason.fck that hope he's won it.

    Not seen him play before, looks a real talent, even if he wasn’t well last night and not at his best. Still played some wonderful stuff at times.

    Looks like he needs to find another level in terms of fitness and stamina. Maybe he could go to Djokovic's doctor and be treated for a "gluten allergy..."
