Jack Draper was given a reality check as world number 62 Alexander Bublik produced a phenomenal fourth-round performance to end British interest in the French Open singles.
Fifth seed Draper lost his way in a 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4 defeat by the maverick Kazakh.
The British number one was largely expected to continue his sharp rise on the clay and tee up a potential quarter-final against top seed Jannik Sinner, who plays his fourth-round match later on Monday.
However, Bublik unleashed an array of spectacular shot-making – particularly using the drop-shot to devastating effect – on his way to a spectacular victory.
It is Draper’s worst defeat by ranking since his first-round exit at Roland Garros last year.
Defeat also came little over an hour after British number three Cameron Norrie also lost in the last 16.
Norrie was beaten in straight sets by 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.
