• Defending champion Alcaraz stunned by Draper at Queen's

  Jack Draper earned the biggest win of his career, upsetting defending Queen's Club champion Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets on Thursday.

  He followed up his first ATP tour title in Stuttgart with a statement win, beating the French Open winner 7-6 (7-3) 6-3.

  He did not lose a service game in a dominant display, though Alcaraz did not lose one in the opening set either, forcing a tie-break before his sloppiness allowed Draper to edge in front.

  Despite Alcaraz bringing his usual threat, Draper got a vital break to make it 4-2 in the second set, rallying to see out a third victory against top-10 opposition.

  Draper will play fifth seed Tommy Paul in the quarter-finals.

  Data Debrief: Alcaraz sees streak snapped

  Alcaraz had won eight consecutive matches coming into this meeting thanks to his victory at Roland Garros, but could not find a way past Draper.

  The British number one impressed, especially in his serves, winning 76 per cent of his service points during the one hour 39 minute contest.

   

• Sinner rallies to reach Halle Open quarter-finals

  Jannik Sinner survived a scare to reach the quarter-finals of the Halle Open after beating Fabian Marozsan on Thursday.

  After having to go all the way in the opening round, Sinner was once again forced into a decider but eventually came out on top 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-3.

  It looked like it might be an easier match for Sinner after he took the first set, but Marozsan rallied in the second. The world number one was able to force a tie-break, but he could not get the better of the Hungarian's aggressive play.

  Sinner did get a decisive break in the decider though, lunging to the net to get a vital point as he rushed into a 4-0 lead before holding out to reach the next round.

  Data Debrief: Sinner stays in the hunt

  Sinner is still chasing his first grass-court title, and looks like he will be pushed all the way to get one in Germany.

  He has improved his record for the season to 35-3 after beating Marozsan in their first ATP meeting.

• Shaqiri 'lives and breathes' for big moments, says Yakin, Clarke issues Tierney update

  Switzerland head coach Murat Yakin was proven right after labelling Xherdan Shaqiri as a "special player for special moments".

  Shaqiri capitalised on a Scotland mistake to score a stunning equaliser, earning a 1-1 draw in their second game at the tournament to put Switzerland on the brink of qualifying for the knockout stages.

  Indeed, Yakin was full of praise for his star man, who has now scored in each of the last six major tournaments going back to the 2014 World Cup, noting the difference he made to the side.

  "He proved that he lives and breathes for moments such as these," Yakin told reporters. "He has shown that time and time again down the years, he really deserved that wonder goal.

  "It was an unbelievably clinical strike. And that was the only thing you could have done in that situation because he intercepted the ball, and he had two opposition players closing him down, so he struck the ball at exactly the right time.

  "We've still got one game to go, it's still very open. We'll do everything in our power to qualify, we want to make it out of the group.

  "On these first two matches, we've shown that we are ready to battle. We haven't yet done the job, but we have taken a big step forward towards the knockout phase."

  Scotland were looking to bounce back from a 5-1 thrashing against hosts Germany on the opening day but could not find a winner in the second half.

  While they have kept themselves in contention for a place in the last 16, one major doubt to emerge from the game was Kieran Tierney, who was stretchered off in the 61st minute.

  Steve Clarke did not know the extent of the injury, he admitted that it will definitely keep the defender out of their final group game against Hungary.

  "It looks pretty bad. We have to assess it, but Kieran won't make the next game," Clarke said.

  "You have to feel for Kieran, he's got himself in great shape, and he's a top player for us. It's a shame, but someone else has got to step up to the mark."

  Speaking on the game itself, the Scotland boss said: "It was nice to see them. We didn't turn up in the first game. We're a good team when we play.

  "We always knew that the points we require would come from these two games. We've got one point now. That means we have a chance going into the last game.

  "I believe if we get those three points, we go to the next stage."
