PARIS (Reuters) - Britain's Jack Draper was sent packing from the French Open when he stumbled to a 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4 fourth-round defeat against mercurial Kazakh Alexander Bublik on Monday.

The result ended the British presence in the singles at Roland Garros as Draper, seeded fifth, lost the plot after a promising opening set against Bublik, who will now face Russia's Andrey Rublev or world number one Jannik Sinner of Italy.
