Here's what Jack Draper had to say following his straight-set win over Gabriel Diallo to reach the semi-finals:

"It feels amazing. I love this tournament. I'm incredibly happy to be here and to get some matches under my belt is a great feeling. Really proud of my performance today against a tough player.

"The first few shots are really important. Its not easy looking down the net and the guy is towering over me. It's a difficult one, especially on the grass, but I returned extremely well.

"It was a better performance again today and each performance has gone that way, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

"I feel great. It's obviously been a difficult year with injury setbacks but I'm gaining more confidence in my body.
