Jack Draper offers the third round of BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells on Saturday as he was wandering in the Wild Wild Joao FONSECA championship in consecutive groups.
The Brazilian Fonseca beat the British Jacob Vernelli in the opening round, but he could not exceed Driber, as the thirteenth seed held a meeting with America Ginson Brooksby, who beat Felix Ogir-Eliasem 6-4 6-2.
Dripper came through a narrow group for the first time before getting a victory 6-4 6-0 after converting five points from eight breaks into one of his opponent.
“I think it is surprising for the tour and is amazing for tennis to have a truly upcoming young star, especially from Brazil, where there is a large base of fans,” Dripper told Sky Sports.
“It seems that every tournament will go there a lot of fans there and be part of that and play against it to find out what is going on around it is really special.
“I have seen it myself, it’s an amazing talent, it strikes the ball heavily and will only improve and it is just a greater experience in this level, and he will be a great player soon.”
The 23 -year -old erupted in the third match of the first group before failing to stick, as the two went to the soles of the feet, until Dereber turned another chance to let him serve in the group.
Then Dripper saved three break points before converting the second group point thanks to the stricken constellation of Fonseca.
Everything was from there as the British number 1 in the first game of Group Two before making it 3-0 on the wide FONSECA chip.
It was the only moment of self -adversity when Darbar made three dual mistakes to a two -point gift, but the British recovered impressive to eliminate both, including an enormous service to take out the second, before closing its ninth match in a row and match.
“I fought a lot with my service here in the past year. The conditions are different, the balls are a little different, and it is very difficult to go down the ball, it flies a lot, which is something I fought with.”
“It is something I was trying to improve. I definitely served the best day but there is still a big way to improve, so I am happy that I came until I could go and work hard to do so.
“I feel really good. I faced some problems at the end of last year and early this year, so it was difficult, because when I played last year, I was consistent.
“I managed to train and go again, but this year I played a lot of marathon matches in Australia and my body should be constantly ready for that.”
Elsewhere, Taylor Fritz defeated Matteo Jagantte 6-3 7-5, while Alejandro defeated Tabilo Dosan Lajovic 6-3 7-5.
