New British men's number one Jack Draper continued his memorable week with a notable win over Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz at Queen's.

Draper, 22, earned a 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 victory over defending champion Alcaraz in the second round.

Spain's Alcaraz, 21, saved three match points at 5-2 before Draper served out from 0-30 to the delight of an ecstatic home crowd.

Beating the world number two - who won the French Open earlier this month - is the biggest win of Draper's career by ranking.

He also ended Alcaraz's streak of 13 straight wins on grass.
