Britain’s Jack Draper is into the third ATP final of his career – and the first on grass – after breezing past unseeded American Brandon Nakashima at the Stuttgart Open.

He will meet former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini in today’s final.

The 28-year-old Italian took just 65 minutes to secure a 6-4 6-0 victory over compatriot Lorenzo Musetti, the fifth seed, in yesterday’s second semi-final.

Draper will move up to 32nd in the world no matter what happens in today’s final and into a potential seeded position for Wimbledon, which starts on 1 July.

He will also be confirmed as the British number one on Monday, moving above Cameron Norrie, and is now one match away from a first singles title on the elite men’s tour.
