Jack Draper

[festa5]

Just googled him to check his English blood hasn't been tainted. Phew, what a relief.

Supports Man United though

Although as a born and bred londoner probably about right.

Is henman hill going to be drapers dune

or Jack's Stack?

Guess that's probably his fortune by now though)

His 6’4 lefty serve is an absoloute nightmare to deal with and he has a good all round game. I can't imagine there is anyone in the world who will enjoy playing against him when he is fit.

Norrie was very fortunate with the draw when he won Indian Wells. His ceiling I agree much lower than Drapers. Also a bit of a plastic Brit if we're honest.

Hes no Greg Rusedski thats for sure.

Hes no Greg Rusedski thats for sure.

Nor is he a Ben Stokes for sure

Shock early exit in Miami. That’s disappointing.

 

[Jonathan]

Mensik's serve was ridiculous today tbf

 

[goalscrounger]

Tired and leggy. Not at the level where he can sustain it every tournament yet.

In fairness he was just really unlucky in miami to draw a fella in form that belied his ranking.

Lost in the first round.....to the guy who ended up winning it.

And still ran him pretty close.

 

[Thornaby90]

Top 5 ranking in the world now.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

In the Madrid Open today he annihilated the guy who beat Djokovic earlier this week. Now in Final 4

 

[Alzi]

Can see him winning majors, with a bit of luck.

Can see him winning majors, with a bit of luck.

Yeah think fitness is probably the biggest question mark.

Can he do it over a fortnight of best of 5 set matches? I think he's got the ability.

Not had the best of luck with injuries up till now, but hopefully that's behind him.

And into the final.

[Mysonpat.]

This kid is inly going to get better, great win.

 

[Boro.Fur]

Ah, beaten in 3 sets by Casper Ruud.
Just fell short but a great effort nevertheless.

 

[Jonathan]

Hard not to feel pleased for Casper Ruud tbh, even in wanting Draper to win. Likeable guy, long overdue one of these big titles.

 

[Alzi]

Very good performance again. Ruud is brilliant on clay but got pushed very hard there.

 

[Otto42]

Very good final. Ruud just had that little bit extra in the final set, but nevertheless a great effort by Draper. I fancy him to do well at Wimbledon this year, then the nation might take notice.
