L32: Jack Draper WR 27 defeated (9) Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) WR 11 by 3-6 6-4 7-5
Came back from a break down in that final set. I sincerely hope that there was no racket-smashing in the course of the encounter. Ruud (7) or FAA in the last 16.
I noticed Jack was wearing a 'sleeve' on his left arm (he is a lefty). That may indicate he has some problem there? I have seen other players wear such things (Raonic eg). Does anyone know the function of them?

My son wore one when recovering from an injury - a compression sleeve is supposed to promote healing through increased blood flow, provided support and warmth. No idea if it actually works..
A great set of doubles results. Hope they can keep going. See that Murray is reuniting with Peers for Winston Salem and US Open.
Yes, seems just a few months since questions were being asked about our doubles guys. Now with the US Open going to be soon upon us ( and Jon ready to hit us with a # of GB MD wins contest ) great to see this form with Brits in all 4 QFs.
