Canada’s Diallo loses to Britain’s Draper in Eastbourne Open quarterfinals
EASTBOURNE — Canada’s Gabriel Diallo was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Eastbourne Open tennis tournament Thursday with a 6-1, 6-4 loss to Britain’s Jack Draper.
Draper went up 5-4 in the second set with his fourth break of the match, then comfortably held serve for the victory.
Diallo had 10 aces and didn’t commit a double-fault, but he won just 51 per cent of his service points.
The 24-year-old from Montreal played in his first quarterfinal of the season as he prepared for Wimbledon, which starts next week.
