Cameron Norrie touted Jack Draper as a top-10 player of the future after withstanding a strong challenge from his young British compatriot to reach the third round of the Miami Open
Draper, 20, has won three titles on the second-tier Challenger Tour this season to leap into the top 150 and he made it 11 victories in a row against veteran Gilles Simon in round one to claim a first Masters tournament victory. That set up an intriguing clash with British No 1 Norrie, who is on course to break into the top 10 for the first time after this tournament, and the 26-year-old battled to a 7-6 , 6-4 victory.
