Jack Draper’s tennis: How embracing variety took him to Indian Wells title
SHARE

Jack Draper, the rising tennis star, has had a remarkable journey in 2024. While many would assume his highlight of the year would be reaching the U.S. Open semifinal, winning ATP Tour titles, or defeating top players like Carlos Alcaraz, Draper himself revealed that his favorite moment was the aftermath of his disappointing loss to Jesper de Jong at the French Open in May.

Reflecting on his struggles after the French Open defeat, Draper acknowledged feeling lost and questioning his potential. This moment of introspection led him to make significant changes in his game, particularly in embracing his natural talents of soft hands, athleticism, and a heavy forehand. Despite the initial identity crisis about his playing style, Draper decided to focus on his strengths rather than conform to a different approach suggested by his coach Wayne Ferreira.

Following the split with Ferreira, Draper honed his skills and found success on the tennis court. His recent triumph at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, where he claimed his first ATP Masters 1,000 title, solidified his position in the top 10 of the ATP rankings. Draper’s ability to mix up his shots and adapt to different playing surfaces was on full display during the tournament, especially in his stunning victory over Alcaraz in the semifinals.

One of Draper’s standout qualities is his two-handed backhand, a reliable shot that sets him apart from other players. His proficiency on the backhand side poses a challenge for opponents, as he can handle cross-court forehands with ease. Data analysis shows that Draper’s opponents struggle to win points when targeting his backhand, giving him a significant advantage in rallies.

Moreover, Draper’s forehand has seen significant improvement, thanks to his work on positioning and balance. His commitment to hitting through the ball and generating power has made his forehand a potent weapon in his arsenal. Draper’s evolution as a player was evident in his comprehensive victory over Holger Rune in the Indian Wells final, where he showcased a blend of attacking and defensive skills.

The key to Draper’s success lies in his dominant serving performance, which sets the tone for his matches. His accuracy and placement on serve have been crucial in dictating play and creating opportunities to showcase his diverse playing style. Draper’s ability to win points on his second serve and vary his pace has added another dimension to his game, allowing him to outmaneuver opponents with a mix of power and finesse.

As Draper continues his ascent in the tennis world, he faces the challenge of competing in Grand Slam tournaments, where the five-set format presents a different set of obstacles. However, with his recent form and newfound confidence, Draper believes he belongs among the elite players in the sport. With a strong showing at the upcoming Miami Open and a favorable clay-court swing ahead, Draper is poised to make a lasting impact on the ATP tour.

In conclusion, Jack Draper’s journey in 2024 is a testament to his resilience, adaptability, and unwavering determination to fulfill his potential as a tennis player. With his unique playing style and relentless work ethic, Draper is set to make a lasting impression on the tennis world and solidify his place among the sport’s top contenders.
