has been handed a difficult draw at the Paris Masters but and will be satisfied with their respective paths to a potential place in the final.

The British No 1, currently competing at the Vienna Open in Austria, will on Saturday.

But at the back of his mind, the 22-year-old may be wondering when the luck of the draw will swing his way. Ahead of next week's tournament in Paris, the Englishman has been given a stern task to reach the latter stages.

Draper has not been seeded and will therefore have to get past Jiri Lehecka in the first round, with the Czech currently ranked 28th in the world.

The pair have previous too. Lehecka emerged victorious in a closely-fought final at the Adelaide Open earlier this year, winning out 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in Australia.

And Draper will be out for revenge as he heads to Paris, with the world No 18 setting his sights on cracking the top 10 in the ATP rankings.
