Jack Draper, the No. 6 seed, began his grass court season with a victory at the Stuttgart Open, defeating Sebastian Ofner 7-6(4), 7-6(5) in the first round. This win sets up a potential match against Andy Murray, who suffered a first-round loss to Marcos Giron, 6-3, 6-4. Draper will face Giron in the next round.
