Draper set for world top five after beating Arnaldi

British number one Jack Draper cruised past Italy's Matteo Arnaldi 6-0 6-4 to reach the semi-finals of the Madrid Open and move into the top five in the world for the first time in his career.

Englishman Draper won the first set in just 25 minutes but world number 44 Arnaldi showed his resolve and recovered at the start of the second.

The Italian won his first two service games before Draper made the crucial break with a fierce cross-court winner to take a 3-2 lead.

The 23-year-old Englishman then held serve and went on to claim victory in one hour and 17 minutes.

The dominant Draper dropped just 10 points on his serve without facing a break point.

Draper, the highest seeded player remaining in the tournament, will face Italy's Lorenzo Musetti or Canada's Gabriel Diallo in the semi-finals.
