British tennis player Jack Draper recently claimed his first ATP title at the Stuttgart Open, defeating Matteo Berrettini in a thrilling final. This victory catapulted Draper to the status of the new British number one, surpassing Cameron Norrie in the world rankings and currently sitting at number 31. Andy Murray, a former world number one himself, believes that Draper has the potential to reach the very top of the world rankings.
Murray praises Draper for his dedication to the sport, noting his hard work and passion for tennis. He sees grass as a particularly strong surface for Draper and expects him to excel on it in the years to come. Despite some tough losses earlier in the year, Murray is confident in Draper’s abilities and believes that with a few different results, he could easily be ranked in the top 20 globally.
Draper and Norrie are set to compete at Queen’s Club, with Draper potentially facing off against the Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz. Murray is also scheduled to play at the event, facing off against Alexei Popyrin. Norrie, on the other hand, will be facing Milos Raonic in his opening match. The British tennis scene is looking promising with Draper’s recent success and Murray’s continued presence in the sport.
