Jack Draper advanced to the third round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells on Saturday as he cruised past wild card Joao Fonseca in straight sets.

Brazil’s Fonseca had beaten Britain’s Jacob Fearnley in the opening round but could not get beyond Draper as the 13th seed teed up a meeting with American Jenson Brooksby, who beat Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 6-2.

Draper came through a tight first set before coasting to a 6-4 6-0 win after converting five of eight break points to his opponent’s one of seven.
