Jack Draper vs Karen Khachanov, live: score and updates from Vienna Open final

Good afternoon and welcome to live coverage of the final of the Erste Bank Open as British number one Jack Draper takes on Russia’s Karen Khachanov in Vienna. The Brit is bidding for his second title of the campaign following his maiden career win at the Stuttgart Open in June. It marks another impressive run for the 22-year-old in what has been a pivotal year, which included a run to the US Open semi-finals in September. Victory today would bring Draper his first ATP 500 title, with the Stuttgart Open’s status as an ATP 250 tournament - one of the key differences between the two being the amount of ranking points up for grabs for the winner. No matter the result this afternoon, the Brit will move inside the top 16 for the first time in his career having overtaken Lorenzo Musetti provisionally to world number 15 following their semi-final tie. The Italian was one spot above Draper in the world rankings coming into this tournament but it was a convincing victory from the Brit, sweeping Musetti aside in straight sets by a score of 6-2, 6-4. Unseeded Khachanov put in an equally impressive semi-final display beating the tournament’s second seed Alex De Minaur by the same scoreline. He will be attempting to win the eighth ATP singles title of his career, and a third of the year after wins in Qatar and Kazakhstan. Following his semi-final tie, Draper said: “I suppose it is my biggest final yet. I have been in 250 finals, Grand Slam semis, obviously a bigger match than tomorrow, but at the same time to be in the final of a 500 after all the work I put in this year and the season I have had, I am incredibly grateful.”
