With a first ATP title and a victory over Carlos Alcaraz, the injury-free British No 1 is playing like the big man he is
As Jack Draper successfully closed out a brilliant performance against Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s on Thursday, his instant reaction was notable. Draper nodded confidently, he scanned the crowd and then he embraced his opponent.
