4-6, 6-4, 6-3

Q. Great win, great battle, how do you feel right now?

JACK DRAPER: I feel amazing. Matteo is someone I admire. I think he's an incredible competitor. When he's healthy he's one of the best players in the world, his results over the years have shown that. So just very proud of my performance today mentally, physically, after a bit of a layoff. I feel I did great out there, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

Q. That third set, a lot of back and forth, take us through that.

JACK DRAPER: I hung in really well. It was difficult at times, but I thought, you know, I kept my cool, I served well, and then I was able to come through with some really tight points.

Q. Tomorrow's matchup, again you finished up late here, but how do you think you'll get ready for tomorrow?

JACK DRAPER: Just prepare the best I can. Obviously proud of my win, but I got to recover well, do the right things, eat, sleep and just, yeah, be ready to go tomorrow.

Q. Doha, how has it been for you so far?

JACK DRAPER: I think it's a great tournament. The players are looked after incredibly well. The hotel, the conditions, the supporters, the courts, food, everything. It's just a world-class event, and hopefully looking forward to coming back here for many years to come.
