The match, played on Court 15, was one-sided. Draper dominated in all aspects of the game, while Albot only had a chance in the second set, which was the closest. Albot's performance was a far cry from his best showing at the US Open. In 2017, he reached the third round.

*"I played a good match,"* said Draper. *"I worked hard to get into the main draw. I think I'll have a tough opponent in the next round. I'm aware of that."*

For reaching the main draw, Albot earned over $80,000. Draper will face Polish player Hubert Hurkacz in the second round.
