British number one Jack Draper put in a professional performance to defuse rising star Joao Fonseca and reach the Indian Wells third round.

"The kid is an unbelievable player with such firepower," he said of Fonseca.

"It is so good to have a superstar coming up - I'm sure he is going to be a top player.
