Initial Spark: Draper’s Promising Wimbledon Performance

Jack Draper’s potential was clear early on in British tennis, but he truly caught the public’s attention at Wimbledon in 2018.

At just 16, the left-hander made waves as he advanced through the junior tournament.

He defeated highly-regarded Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-finals and survived a grueling semi-final against Nicolas Majia, winning 7-6 (7-5), 6-7 (6-8), 19-17.

Though he lost to Tseng Chun-hsin in the final, Draper’s performance hinted at a bright future ahead.
