    Britain's Jack Draper will make his long-awaited return from injury at Eastbourne next week - and he will be watched by new coach Andy Murray.

    The 24-year-old has not played competitively since early April and needs match practice before Wimbledon starts on 29 June.

    After withdrawing from Queen's last week, Draper now feels ready to play at Eastbourne and prove his fitness before the Championships begin.

    Eastbourne will be Draper's first tournament under the guidance of Murray, who was brought into the 2024 US Open semi-finalist's team last month.

    Former world number one Murray, speaking exclusively to BBC Sport this week, says he hopes to work with Draper on a long-term basis.

    Draper had been with Murray's former coach Jamie Delgado before making a surprise announcement that the three-time Grand Slam singles champion would be "supporting" him over the grass-court season.

    Asked if the partnership is a long-term project, 39-year-old Murray said: "I hope so.

    "I think the number one priority for Jack and the team just now is getting him back on the match court, competing and gaining trust in his body again."

    Should be an exciting game here.

    One person who has been impressed by Arthur Fery is former British number one John Lloyd, who sees no reason why Fery cannot be a top 50 tennis player.

    "I see no reason why he can't be top 50," Lloyd said, when commentating on Fery's 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 victory over Adrian Mannarino for the BBC.

    "He's quick, nasty to play against, he moves well, isn't afraid to change it up with the slice, and he likes the big stage."

    Let's see if Fery can find an extra gear to force this into a third set.

  8. Cerundolo takes first setpublished at 15:50 BST

    Britain's Arthur Fery has made a commendable start to this quarter-finals despite losing the first set, he came back to force a tie-break against Francisco Cerundolo which ended 7-6 in favour of the Argentine.

    British number five Arthur Fery recorded the "best result" of his career as he beat Adrian Mannarino to keep home hopes alive in the HSBC Championships at Queen's.

    The world number 140 reached his first ATP Tour quarter-final with a 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 victory over the veteran Frenchman.

    The 23-year-old wildcard needed treatment for a nosebleed at the start of the second set but kept his focus to wrap up victory on Andy Murray Arena.

    Fery was ranked 461 when he upset 20th seed Alexei Popyrin on the opening day of last year's Wimbledon, but said his win over Mannarino was better.

    "It's special to be playing in London where I grew up and in front of all these British tennis fans," the British number five told BBC Sport.

    "This is the best result of my career so far. It's not been easy, there have been lots of ups and downs so I'm happy to get through."

    He was the last Briton left in singles after Cameron Norrie lost to fourth seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on Tuesday.

    Asked about having to cope with a nosebleed, Fery said: "It happens to me quite often. I'm used to it.

    "I don't really know why it happens. Maybe nerves. Sometimes tiredness, the heat. I don't know. It happens here and there."
