Jack Draper blows hot and cold in Wimbledon epic to set up

British No 1 beats Elias Ymer 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3Draper now faces fellow Briton in second round

The king is dead. Long live the ki … well, not entirely. Not yet. But on the day that Andy Murray waved a pained goodbye to his singles career at Wimbledon, Jack Draper stepped in to give the Centre Court crowd – and a primetime BBC audience – a familiar sensation: being put through an emotional wringer by a British No 1 tennis player.

There were loud cries of “Come on Jack” before every big point in his five-set mini epic against Elias Ymer, as well as a fistpump eerily reminiscent of Murray.
