Early life

Draper was born in Sutton, London and brought up in nearby Ashtead, Surrey.[2][3] 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, while being coached by Justin Sherring. He then attended Reed's School, Cobham for two years.[4][5]

Juniors

[edit]

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.[6] He closed the year at a career-high junior ranking of No. 7.[citation needed]

Professional career

[edit]

2021: ATP, Masters and top 250 debut

[edit]

Plagued by injuries for most of his career, Draper made his ATP Tour main draw debut in singles as a wildcard at the Miami Open. He had to retire in his first-round match against Mikhail Kukushkin, after he collapsed on the court from heat-related illness.[7]

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.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10]

Draper received a wildcard into the singles main draw at the Wimbledon Championships.[11] 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.[12]

[edit]

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.[13] 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.[14] 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.[15]

At the Miami Open, Draper clinched his first Masters 1000 match win over Gilles Simon as a wildcard.[16] He lost in the second round to Norrie.[17] Draper went on the next week to win his fourth Challenger title at Saint-Brieuc, defeating Zizou Bergs in the final.[18] 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.[19] Draper made his top 100 debut at world no. 99 on 13 June 2022.[20]

At Eastbourne, as a wildcard, Draper beat Jenson Brooksby, fourth seed Diego Schwartzman and fellow wildcard Ryan Peniston to reach the first ATP semifinal of his career.[21] He lost in three sets to Maxime Cressy in the semifinals.[22] He earned a 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.[23][24]

On 19 October, he qualified for the 2022 Next Generation ATP Finals, the first Briton to do so.[34] On 24 October he reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 45 having reached the top 50 two weeks earlier.[35] At the NextGen Finals he reached the semifinals defeating top seed Lorenzo Musetti in the group stage.[36] He lost in the last four to Brandon Nakashima.[37]
