Jack Draper Climbs Up The Rankings

Jack Draper

Jack Draper is twenty years old and already making a splash on the ATP Tour. The Brit turned professional in 2018 and made it to his first ATP Masters 1000 quarterfinals last week in Canada. Draper lost to the eventual champion, Pablo Carreno Busta.

The Junior Career Of Jack Draper

Draper ended his junior career ranked number seven. He made it to the junior Wimbledon final in 2018, so he knows how to play on grass. He has the usual big weapons: serve and forehand. The question as usual is, “How far will he go?” We know that if they made it on the tour, it is not a lack of talent that prevents each player from fulfilling their potential, it’s a lack of mental and emotional health. It may also be a lack of physical and spiritual health.
