Injury Forces Draper's Retirement in Barcelona Opener as Norrie Advances

Jack Draper's clay-court season got off to a disappointing start as he was forced to retire due to injury in the decisive third set of his first-round match against Tomas Martin Etcheverry at the Barcelona Open. Draper had won the first set 6-3, but struggled with his movement thereafter, and despite receiving medical attention, he was unable to continue, trailing 4-1 in the third set. Meanwhile, British No 1 Cameron Norrie overcame a tough challenge from three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, winning 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-4 to book his place in the second round. Norrie will now face American Ethan Quinn, while Etcheverry will play Portugal's Nuno Borges. In other news, Katie Boulter eased into the last 16 of the Rouen Open with a dominant 6-2 6-2 win over Maria Timofeeva, and will look to build on this momentum as she targets a good run in the tournament.
