Jack Draper (born December 22, 2001 in Sutton , London ) is a British tennis player from England .

Career

Jack Draper is the son of Roger Draper , executive director of the Lawn Tennis Association from 2006 to 2013.

Draper played on the ITF Junior Tour until 2018. There he initially won no match in a total of five tournaments at the level of the Grand Slam tournaments. It wasn't until his last tournament as a junior in mid-2018 at Wimbledon that he made his breakthrough. After he had won in the semifinals with 19:17 in the third set, he was defeated by Taiwanese Tseng Chun-hsin in the final in three sets. At the end of the year, Draper was in his best position in the juniors, finishing 7th. Although he was still eligible to play until the end of 2019, from then on he played tournaments with the professionals.

In his first professional year in 2018, he won three tournaments on the ITF Future Tour , ending the year in 428th place in the world rankings . In 2019, after a few minor injuries in Nottingham, he won his first match on the higher endowed ATP Challenger Tour . For his first appearance at the highest tennis level, Draper came in July in the doubles competition at Wimbledon when he received a wild card . Against the later Colombian winning pairing of Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah, Draper and his partner Paul Jubb lost in three sets. In the further course of the year, the Briton won three futures in singles and his first future in doubles. At the Challenger in Fairfield he was able to defeat a former top 10 player with Jack Sock and move into the quarterfinals for the first time, whereupon he reached number 316 in the world rankings, his best placement to date.
