British No1 Jack Draper will continue his push for a second title of the year at the Italian Open today, facing Corentin Moutet in the round of 16.
Draper has gone largely unchallenged in his earlier matches at the tournament, beating both Luciano Darderi and Vit Kopriva in straight sets.

He made headlines as he beat qualifier Kopriva 6-4 6-3 on Sunday, though, receiving a code violation as he smashed his racket in a moment of frustration after missing four break points in the second set.
Reflecting on the incident, Draper said: “It was a tough match.
“I knew coming in it's another match, another chance to try and put my game out on the court. I felt a little bit low in energy. My feet weren't working as well as I wanted them to. But I tried to fight hard and find a way.
"Obviously, the frustration boiled out a little bit too much in the end, but I stayed at it and came through."
Moutet, ranked nine places higher than Kopriva by ATP, should pose a slightly stiffer competition. He has established himself as a giant-killer in Rome, upsetting world No9 Holger Rune and his countryman, world No21 Ugo Humbert in the earlier rounds.
