    More from Jack Draper on his expectations for Eastbourne: "It's a difficult one. If you haven't competed in a while, you never know what to expect. The first set was a bit up and down and then I started to play some good tennis. I lost concentration which can happen if you haven't played for a while and you're against good players like Marcos.

    "But I'm really happy with way I came through in the end and I give myself another opportunity in the second round to play better and keep on building momentum in my tennis and in my body.

    On having Sir Andy Murray in his box: "I haven't called him Sir yet, that's not going to happen.

    "Andy, truthfully is one of my biggest inspirations. When I was younger I remember him playing all the big events and being there to watch him.

    "As I came on to the tour we spent some time together and I think we have a great relationship off the court but also what he brings in terms of the tennis as well. He believes in my game, he believed in me as a person. That's what I really need right now coming back from the year I have had.

    "Really grateful to Andy that he's chosen to help me and wants to help me. Today was a performance a bit like what he used to do - winning ugly."

    Jack Draper, speaking after his first-round win over Marcos Giron: "Incredible excitement to be back out here again. I wasn't sure if I would be able to play the grass this year. It's been an incredibly difficult year for me with certain physical bits.

    "But to be here is really special. I haven't been here in four years now so to play here, on home turf and make a comeback is a big deal for me so thank you."
