The day started with Jack Draper discovering he will face Belgian wildcard Zizou Bergs at Wimbledon — a far more favourable draw than last year’s pairing with a chap called Novak Djokovic.
Yet it ended in a narrow defeat at Eastbourne where Maxime Cressy, the 6ft 6in serve and volleyer ranked 60th in the world, proved too much for the young Brit in the semi-finals.
There is no shame in losing to Cressy, who this week also defeated Britain’s top two ranked men in Cameron Norrie and Dan Evans en route to the final in East Sussex.
