The British No.1 will pivot his attention to matters closer to home as he flies the British flag in the Davis Cup – widely regarded as the World Cup of tennis – at the AO Arena
Jack Draper wants to use his stunning run to the US Open semi-finals as a platform for next week’s Davis Cup qualifiers in Manchester.
Draper enjoyed a memorable debut by edging past Australia in three tight sets last year and is relishing the prospect of representing his country on home soil. “It was an amazing team with Andy , Dan , Cam and Neal there and for Leon to put his faith in me to play that first match was amazing in front of 10,000 people at home.
Draper catapulted himself onto the big stage six years ago when he narrowly lost to Tseng Chun-hsin in the boys’ singles final at Wimbledon. Speaking ahead of that clash from Flushing Meadows, Draper – who became the first British men’s player to reach this stage since Andy Murray – added: “This is not kind of like an overnight thing for me.
