Jack Alexander Draper is a British left-handed tennis star, who is currently ranked No. 25 in the world, as of September 2024. Born on 22 December 2001 in London, England, Draper turned pro in 2018. He has won one ATP singles title and is yet to win a Grand Slam title, as of 2024. Jack Draper won five titles on the ATP Challenger Tour, as well as seven trophies on the ITF Tour. Although his best major performance came at the 2024 US Open, the 22-year-old is a former Grand Slam finalist as a junior (Wimbledon 2018).
Unfortunately, a large chunk of Draper’s career has been marred by injury concerns. Having started playing tennis at the age of 3, Jack Draper soon evolved into a powerhouse southpaw. He has a solid serve, which is backed up by his flat ground-strokes and innate ability to hit the lines. Unsurprisingly, the Englishman idolized Andy Murray growing up. He is currently being coached by James Trotman.
