We're guaranteed a British player in the third round at WImbledon. That's because 28th seed Jack Draper faces fellow British player Cameron Norrie in round two. They'll be battling it out to determine who faces either fourth seed Alexander Zverev or Marcos Giron in round three.

A lot has changed in British tennis in the last year or so. Draper has recovered from injuries and risen up the rankings. His first round win over Elias Ymer took him up to 26th in the live rankings. That's 14 places higher than his opponent who used to be the British number one.

It wasn't an easy match on Tuesday for Draper. He dropped the first set to the Swedish qualifier and in the end had to go to five sets to get the win. Earlier this summer, he won the BOSS Open on grass and beat Carlos Alcaraz.

Cameron Norrie was the 12th seed at WImbledon last year. He reached the semi-finals of this grass court Grand Slam two years ago. Last year he was beaten at this stage and has been slipping down the rankings.

He's only made it to one grass court final. That was three years ago when losing the title decider at Queen's Club. This year, he played in three grass court events and only won one of his four matches and that was on the Challenger Tour.

Round one of this tournament saw him get a straight sets victory over Facundo Diaz Acosta. We go for over 3.5 sets to be played in this all-British match.
