British number one Jack Draper progressed to the Japan Open quarter-finals with a straight-set victory over number two seed Hubert Hurkacz.

The unseeded 22-year-old, who reached the US Open semi-finals earlier this month, took 84 minutes to beet the Pole 6-2 6-4 in Tokyo.

Draper won two of seven break point opportunities and saved three of his own.

The victory was the world number 20's third against a top-10 opponent in 2024 - his most in a single season.

He will next play the winner of the match between France's Ugo Humbert and America' s Brandon Nakashima.

Hurkacz's exit means five of the eight seeded players have been knocked out, with Taylor Fritz, Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Frances Tiafoe losing in the first round.

Elsewhere, America's Ben Shelton beat Argentina's Mariano Navone 6-4 6-3 to also book a quarter-final spot.
