Jack Draper plays rising star Joao Fonseca for a place in the French Open fourth round.

Draper, the British No 1 and fifth seed, is through to the third round for the first time after beating home favourite Gael Monfils in a four-set thriller on Thursday night.

The 23-year-old will now take on Brazil’s teenager sensation Fonseca, with the 18-year-old reaching the third round of a grand slam for the first time after two straight-sets wins.

Fonseca will be supported by his passionate Brazilian fans but Draper overcame the French crowd as he defeated Monfils on Court Philippe-Chatrier

This will be their second career meeting, with Draper defeating Fonseca 6-4 6-0 on his way to winning the Indian Wells title on the California hard-courts.

What time is Jack Draper vs Joao Fonseca?

Draper vs Fonseca is the third match on Court Simonne-Mathieu, with play beginning with Paula Badosa vs Daria Kasatkina at 10am BST. That will be followed by another women’s singles match, the all-French meeting between Elsa Jacquemot and Lois Boisson.

Draper and Fonseca could therefore take to court at around 2pm BST (UK time), but it could be slightly earlier or later depending on the previous matches.
