For the first time in more than 60 years, two British men have reached the French Open singles fourth round.

Jack Draper will play Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik on Monday after outclassing Brazilian rising star Joao Fonseca in straight sets to reach the last 16, where he was later ed by compatriot Cameron Norrie.

Norrie defeated fellow Briton Jacob Fearnley, also in straight sets, to set up an enticing contest against 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.

Not since 1963 - when the tournament was known as the French Championships, five years before the Open era began - have two British men made it this far at Roland Garros.

That year, Mike Sangster reached the semi-finals while Bobby Wilson exited in the quarter-finals.

But success has since been scarce for British men on the Paris clay courts - former world number one Andy Murray aside. So what, if anything, has changed?
