- Draper: ‘difficult to see people question your integrity’
- British No 1 faces Zheng Zhizhen in US Open first round
Jack Draper, the men’s British No 1, says he has been hurt by the backlash he has received and the questioning of his integrity in the aftermath of his controversial match point during his fourth-round win against Felix Auger-Aliassime at the Cincinnati Open. Draper says he hopes the incident will result in tennis adopting video replay technology.
“I’ve always valued myself on being honest and a good person,” Draper said. “Forget the tennis – that is one of the most important things to me in my life. So to obviously see that stuff, and see people talking about you for the first time in a negative way – and questioning your integrity and stuff like that – it’s obviously difficult to see.
