Jack Alexander Draper (born 22 December 2001) is a British professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 94 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he achieved on 27 June 2022, and he also attained a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 477 on 14 February 2022.

As a junior, Draper was the runner-up in his first and only Grand Slam final at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, and he closed the year at a career-high junior ranking of No. 7. Since turning professional, Draper has won seven titles on the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Men's World Tennis Tour and four on the ATP Challenger Tour.

Early life

Draper was born in Sutton, Surrey, just south-west of London.[1] His father is Roger Draper, former chief executive of Sport England and the Lawn Tennis Association and his mother is Nicky Draper, a former junior British Tennis Champion. Draper attended Parkside School in Stoke d’Abernon, Cobham, from age four to eleven, whilst being coached by Justin Sherring. He then attended Reed's School, Cobham for two years.[2][3]

Professional career

As a junior

Draper reached his first and only junior Grand Slam final at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, where he lost to Tseng Chun-hsin in three sets.[4]

2021: ATP, Masters and top 250 debut

Draper made his ATP Tour main draw debut in singles as a wildcard at the Miami Open, but had to retire in his first-round match against Mikhail Kukushkin, after he collapsed on the court from heat-related illness.[5]

At the Queen's Club Championships in June, Draper secured the biggest win of his career to date with a victory over world No. 23 Jannik Sinner as a wildcard.[6] He defeated world No. 39 Alexander Bublik in the round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals of an ATP tournament for the first time in his career, where he lost to eventual finalist Cameron Norrie.[7] By reaching this stage of the tournament, he became the youngest British ATP quarterfinalist since Andy Murray in 2006 and earned a top 250 debut in the ATP rankings.[8]

He received a wildcard into the singles main draw at the Wimbledon Championships.[9] He drew defending champion Novak Djokovic in the first round, where he claimed the first set 6–4 before losing the next three sets to cede the match.[10]

2022: Four ATP Challenger titles, first ATP semifinal & top 100 debut

In January, Draper entered the 2022 Città di Forlì II an ATP Challenger Tour event, in Forlì, where he was the eighth seed. There, he reached his first Challenger final and won his first title on the tour after defeating compatriot Jay Clarke, 6–3, 6–0.[11] Two weeks later, Draper continued his run of form at the Città di Forlì IV, where he was unseeded and reached his second final to claim his second Challenger title after defeating Tim van Rijthoven, 6–1, 6–2. The win led Draper to debut in the top 200 and reach a new career high of world No. 162.[12] Draper secured his third consecutive Challenger title in his third Forlì tournament at Città di Forlì V the following week after saving four match points in the final to defeat Alexander Ritschard in three sets.[13]

At the Miami Open Draper clinched his first Masters 1000 match win over Gilles Simon as a wildcard.[14] He lost in the second round to Norrie.[15] Draper went on the next week to win his fourth Challenger title at Saint-Brieuc defeating Zizou Bergs in the final.[16] At the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open on his debut he defeated World No. 27 Lorenzo Sonego as a wildcard for his second win at the Masters level.[17] He reached a new career-high of No. 106 on 9 May 2022. Draper made his top 100 debut at world no. 99 on 13 June 2022.

At Eastbourne, as a wildcard, Draper beat Jenson Brooksby, 4th seed Diego Schwartzman and fellow wildcard Ryan Peniston to reach the first ATP semifinal of his career. He lost in 3 sets to Maxime Cressy in the semifinals.

He earned direct entry at a major tournament for the first time at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships and won his first Grand Slam match defeating wildcard Zizou Bergs.
