#NextGenATP Draper Sets Rublev Rematch In Washington

Spoiler:

#NextGenATP Briton Jack Draper has earned another shot at Top 10 star Andrey Rublev.

Three months ago, Rublev defeated Draper in a thrilling three-setter at the Mutua Madrid Open. They will meet again at the Citi Open after Draper eliminated American wild card Stefan Kozlov 7-5, 6-2 on Monday in Washington.

"I think Stefan plays a very awkward game. He's one of the guys who really disrupts your rhythm. The first four games of the match, I found it really hard to hit the court, actually. The conditions here, it's quite lively and you have to play with a bit more control," Draper said in his on-court interview. "I think I adjusted pretty well and in the end it became more of a physical battle out here in these conditions."

Draper lost the first three games of the match and almost went down a quick double break, but rallied past the home favourite in one hour and 53 minutes. The 20-year-old saved four of the five break points he faced and hit 10 aces in his victory.


The lefty is fifth in the Pepperstone ATP Race To Milan and trying to qualify for the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals for the first time. Entering the season, he had won two tour-level matches. The Briton has claimed eight this year alone.

It would have been nine had he found a way past Rublev in Madrid, where the favourite triumphed 2-6, 6-4, 7-5. Now the #NextGenATP shot will have another go.

For Draper, this is all part of his process. He began the year No. 265 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings and is at a career-high World No. 81.

"For me, I know I've got the tennis," Draper said. "It's just about developing my physicality and being able to mentally cope with these guys as well. I think I've got a lot to improve still."

Jack Draper’s strong 2022 form propelled him into the Top 100 of the Pepperstone ATP Rankings for the first time in June, and the #NextGenATP Briton kept his cool to complete a 6-2, 6-3 victory on tournament debut against fellow qualifier Hugo Gaston.

The pair resumed their rain-interrupted first-round clash on Tuesday with Draper leading 6-2, 2-3 from Monday’s play. The 20-year-old immediately had to dig deep to fend off four break points and hold for 3-3 before claiming a decisive break of the Gaston serve in the next game, ultimately wrapping up a 83-minute victory to set a second-round test against third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Draper Upsets Tsitsipas For First Top 10 Win

Spoiler:

A wild Wednesday filled with upsets in Montreal ended with the biggest shock of them all, according to the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.

On a day that also saw the first, second and fifth seeds planted, #NextGenATP Briton and World No. 82 Jack Draper closed the Canadian night session with a 7-5, 7-6(4) stunner against Stefanos Tsitsipas. By beating the third seed and World No. 5, Draper earned his first Top 10 win.

"This is why I put in all the hard work, for nights like this on stages like this," the 20-year-old qualifier said in an on-court interview. "Last week [after] Washington, me and my coach probably were thinking we weren't even going to come here. We were going to maybe train a week, get a bit of confidence. But it paid off coming."

The gap of 77 places between Draper and Tsitsipas is the largest of any of the day's upsets by some margin, with the Greek joining Daniil Medvedev, Carlos Alcaraz and Andrey Rublev in making an early exit at the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers.

Draper earned the victory by moving the Greek around the court from the baseline and being the steadier player over the course of the two-hour match, particularly at the crucial moments on centre court at the ATP Masters 1000.

"I didn't really have much of a game plan," Draper said. "I just thought I needed to play good tennis to beat Stefanos. He's at the top of the game for a reason. [He's] someone I've looked up to the last few years. It's just good to be out here and try to express myself on this stage."

Both players created plenty of looks on return, with Draper finishing three of nine on break chances and Tsitsipas two of seven. But late in both sets, the Briton frustrated his opponent from the back of the court. Draper instantly recovered an early break in the second set and immediately reclaimed a mini-break in the tie-break before Tsitsipas committed three errors from 4/4 to seal his fate.

It was a deserved victory for Draper, who dominated behind his lefty serve, winning 74 per cent (35/47) of points on his first delivery. While Tsitsipas began to dictate with his forehand in the second set and was the aggressor for much of the contest, he ended the match with 36 unforced errors compared to 35 winners. Draper was a plus-four by that measure, firing 21 winners to 17 errors.

Draper's Debut Run Continues After Monfils Retirement

Spoiler:

Jack Draper's dream debut continued on Thursday in Montreal, but it was an injury nightmare for Gael Monfils in the pair's third-round match.

The #NextGenATP Briton led 6-2, 0-2 on Court Central when Monfils suffered a foot injury in what was his first ATP Tour appearance since Madrid in May. The Frenchman appeared to reaggravate an issue for which he underwent a small procedure later that month.

After a medical timeout, Monfils stepped back on the court with intentions to play, but retired before hitting another ball after a courtside discussion with his team.

"I know what it's like to do an ankle," a subdued Draper said post-match. "I did one last year and rebounded. I hope Gael is alright. I wish him all the best for the rest of the season. I guess to be in the quarter-finals is nice for myself, but it's never how you want it to happen."


After upsetting third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas late Wednesday night to earn his first Top 10 win. Draper backed it up with a clean opening set against Monfils. He did not face a break point in the opener and converted on his two chances to ease into the lead.

The 20-year-old qualifier dropped serve in the second game of set two but created a 15/30 opening on return before Monfils' injury.

With just two tour-level wins to his name entering 2022. Draper is through to his third ATP Tour quarter-final and his first at the ATP Masters 1000 level at the National Bank Open Presented by Rogers.

"On Tour, sometimes it's your week," he said of his breakthrough. "If you train hard every day and keep your head down, I suppose these things happen. I'm very happy to be in the quarter-finals here. It means a lot."

After his win against Tsitsipas ended after midnight local time. Draper will be pleased to get off the court before sunset.

"The most important thing is to just to get a good sleep now," he said, looking ahead to his quarter-final against Pablo Carreno Busta. "I finished last night very late. I came out today and spoke to my coach and we were thinking it was going to be a tough mental challenge today to come out here and be all there. But I think I did a good job of that and hopefully tomorrow I can put a little bit of pressure [on my opponent]."
