Draper 5-7 3-6 Humbert
France’s Ugo Humbert, speaking on-court after beating Jack Draper on his birthday to reach the Eastbourne Open final: “It was the best gift I could have today. Thank you so much for my birthday wishes!
“It’s nice to see Jack back on the court. He was really impressive and I think I was a bit lucky in the second set. I’m super happy to be in the final.
“I hate to play against a fellow lefty [left-handed player]. It’s really tough. We have a good advantage.
“Tonight I will recover and be ready tomorrow, so no big party.”
