Draper's Barcelona Campaign Cut Short by Injury as Norrie Advances

Jack Draper's clay-court season got off to a disappointing start as he was forced to retire from his first-round match against Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry at the Barcelona Open due to an injury. Despite taking the first set 6-3, Draper struggled with his movement and eventually withdrew from the match in the third set, trailing 4-1. His opponent, Etcheverry, praised Draper's competitiveness, saying, 'He was playing unbelievably... He's a great fighter.' Draper's injury comes as a setback, having only recently returned to the ATP Tour after a left-arm injury kept him sidelined since last August's US Open. Meanwhile, British No 1 Cameron Norrie secured a hard-fought victory over three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka, winning 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-4. Norrie will face American Ethan Quinn in the next round. 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, keeping her hopes of a first clay-court title alive.
