British fifth seed Jack Draper came from a set down to reach the second round of the French Open for the first time on Tuesday.

Draper won through 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 against Italy's 68th-ranked Mattia Bellucci in two hours 25 minutes on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

The 23-year-old advances to the second round on the clay courts of Roland Garros for the first time on his third appearance.

Draper, a semi-finalist at the US Open last year, will next play either France's Gael Monfils or Hugo Dellien of Bolivia for a place in the third round.
